⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (30.7 L at 44.5 Hz) would need a 51.6 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 30.7 L at 49.0 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Xmax is not published, so the port size is an empirical estimate (area ≥ 12 in² per ft³ of net volume, minimum by driver size), not a displacement calculation. Check air velocity in Load Forge Studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for NVX XQS65KITv2?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts NVX XQS65KITv2 in a 30.7 liter vented enclosure tuned to 49.0 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 45.5 Hz.

Can NVX XQS65KITv2 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 13.6 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 76.7 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for NVX XQS65KITv2 to avoid port chuffing?

Xmax is not published for NVX XQS65KITv2, so the port is an empirical estimate: a 12.5 cm diameter with a length of 41.0 cm (area at least 12 in² per ft³ of net volume). Check the air velocity at your power level in Load Forge Studio.
