Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for SB Acoustics SB29SDNC-C000-4 / Fabric?

A simple ported box is not recommended for SB Acoustics SB29SDNC-C000-4 / Fabric: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 502.8 Hz) needs a 3.2 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 SB29SDNC-C000-4 / Fabric be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.05 liters with a Qtc of 0.572 (below Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 881.6 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for SB Acoustics SB29SDNC-C000-4 / Fabric to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 15.0 cm port would need 3.2 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
