⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 0.25 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 0.47 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 0.665; 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 SB Acoustics SATORI TW29TXNWG-4 / TeXtreme?

A simple ported box is not recommended for SB Acoustics SATORI TW29TXNWG-4 / TeXtreme: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 526.2 Hz) needs a 2.0 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 SB Acoustics SATORI TW29TXNWG-4 / TeXtreme be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.016 liters with a Qtc of 0.665 (below Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 947.3 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for SB Acoustics SATORI TW29TXNWG-4 / TeXtreme to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 15.0 cm port would need 2.0 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
