⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (4.7 L at 48.2 Hz) would need a 50.3 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 4.7 L at 53.0 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 3.0 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.
