⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (1.5 L at 189.5 Hz) would need a 7.4 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 1.9 L at 151.6 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 0.7 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 2.0 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 2.828; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for MISCO 41X71-WB04-01?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts MISCO 41X71-WB04-01 in a 1.9 liter vented enclosure tuned to 151.6 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 137.7 Hz.

Can MISCO 41X71-WB04-01 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.2 liters with a Qtc of 2.828 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (2.00)), the system exhibits an F3 of 274.3 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for MISCO 41X71-WB04-01 to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 9.9 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
