Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 1.03 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.457; 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 Peerless TA6FD00-08?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Peerless TA6FD00-08 in a 1.5 liter vented enclosure tuned to 127.6 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 113.7 Hz.

Can Peerless TA6FD00-08 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.25 liters with a Qtc of 1.457 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.03)), the system exhibits an F3 of 177.3 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Peerless TA6FD00-08 to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 20.5 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
