⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (4.1 L at 126.6 Hz) would need a 11.7 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 16.4 L at 113.9 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 3.25 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 1.12 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.584; 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 PRV Audio 69MR500-4 BULLET 6" x 9" Midrange Speaker 4 Ohms?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts PRV Audio 69MR500-4 BULLET 6" x 9" Midrange Speaker 4 Ohms in a 16.4 liter vented enclosure tuned to 113.9 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 118.7 Hz.

Can PRV Audio 69MR500-4 BULLET 6" x 9" Midrange Speaker 4 Ohms be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 5.2 liters with a Qtc of 1.584 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.12)), the system exhibits an F3 of 175.4 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for PRV Audio 69MR500-4 BULLET 6" x 9" Midrange Speaker 4 Ohms to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 10.0 cm with a length of 3.9 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
