⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Port length (68.1 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.63 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 0.891; 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 MTX Audio 3510-04S?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts MTX Audio 3510-04S in a 20.3 liter vented enclosure tuned to 29.8 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 40.3 Hz.

Can MTX Audio 3510-04S be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 25.3 liters with a Qtc of 0.891 (above Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 41.7 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for MTX Audio 3510-04S to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 7.5 cm with a length of 68.1 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
