⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (1.5 L at 86.7 Hz) would need a 48.6 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 1.5 L at 91.0 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for SEAS H0455_P11RCY?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts SEAS H0455_P11RCY in a 1.5 liter vented enclosure tuned to 91.0 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 92.7 Hz.

Can SEAS H0455_P11RCY be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.63 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 148.6 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for SEAS H0455_P11RCY to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 43.8 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
