⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • 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.

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 Pride Easy 6.5X v.2 coaxial?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Pride Easy 6.5X v.2 coaxial in a 9.8 liter vented enclosure tuned to 68.0 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 94.0 Hz.

Can Pride Easy 6.5X v.2 coaxial be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 12.3 liters with a Qtc of 0.891 (above Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 96.1 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Pride Easy 6.5X v.2 coaxial to avoid port chuffing?

Xmax is not published for Pride Easy 6.5X v.2 coaxial, so the port is an empirical estimate: a 6.8 cm diameter with a length of 19.2 cm (area at least 12 in² per ft³ of net volume). Check the air velocity at your power level in Load Forge Studio.
