⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (1.5 L at 74.3 Hz) would need a 67.5 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 1.5 L at 92.9 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 0.55 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.
