⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (10.4 L at 44.7 Hz) would need a 106.1 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 10.4 L at 46.9 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Port length (95.8 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
