⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Straight vent would be 1.1 cm long: not physically buildable as a simple tube. Use a passive radiator, a folded slot port or model a 3D folded duct in Load Forge Studio.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 1.05 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.

Textbook Bass Reflex — not recommended

PORT NOT BUILDABLE
Net Box Volume (Vb) 1.5 Liters
Tuning Frequency (Fb) 637.5 Hz
F3 (-3 dB Cutoff) 604.8 Hz
F6 / F10 Extension 583.4 Hz / 555.1 Hz
Port Inner Diameter Ø 20.0 cm
Port Physical Length No real tube length at this tuning — use a passive radiator
First Pipe Resonance 14990.0 Hz
Estimated MOL @ F3 98.9 dB SPL
⚠️ Port feasibility: a straight tube would need 1.1 cm and cannot fit in a practical cabinet, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. Prefer the sealed alignment, a passive radiator, or a 3D folded duct in Load Forge Studio.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 1.1 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.556; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.

Net Box Volume (Vb) 0.016 Liters
System Q (Qtc) 1.556 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.10))

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Peerless OX32SC00-08?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Peerless OX32SC00-08: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 637.5 Hz) needs a 1.1 cm port, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. A sealed box, a passive radiator or a folded duct is the practical choice.

Can Peerless OX32SC00-08 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.016 liters with a Qtc of 1.556 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.10)), the system exhibits an F3 of 873.0 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Peerless OX32SC00-08 to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 20.0 cm port would need 1.1 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
