⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (3.1 L at 117.6 Hz) would need a 10.2 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 7.8 L at 105.8 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 2.62 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 0.97 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.372; 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 6MR200A-4?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts PRV Audio 6MR200A-4 in a 7.8 liter vented enclosure tuned to 105.8 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 125.5 Hz.

Can PRV Audio 6MR200A-4 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 3.9 liters with a Qtc of 1.372 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.97)), the system exhibits an F3 of 157.7 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for PRV Audio 6MR200A-4 to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 3.2 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
