Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for REDCATT DR-2-001-4R-B2-C0001?

A simple ported box is not recommended for REDCATT DR-2-001-4R-B2-C0001: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 140.0 Hz) needs a 16.4 cm port, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. A sealed box, a passive radiator or a folded duct is the practical choice.

Can REDCATT DR-2-001-4R-B2-C0001 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.11 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 255.5 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for REDCATT DR-2-001-4R-B2-C0001 to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 5.0 cm port would need 16.4 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
