⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (3.7 L at 104.8 Hz) would need a 21.9 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 7.4 L at 62.9 Hz so the port can be built.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 1.25 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.768; 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 6MB200?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts PRV Audio 6MB200 in a 7.4 liter vented enclosure tuned to 62.9 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 127.3 Hz.

Can PRV Audio 6MB200 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 4.6 liters with a Qtc of 1.768 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.25)), the system exhibits an F3 of 142.3 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for PRV Audio 6MB200 to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 16.5 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
