⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Straight vent would be 211.6 cm long: not physically buildable as a simple tube. Use a passive radiator, a folded slot port or model a 3D folded duct in Load Forge Studio.
  • Large enclosure volume (262.4 L) requires extensive internal matrix bracing to prevent panel resonance.

Textbook Bass Reflex — not recommended

PORT NOT BUILDABLE
Net Box Volume (Vb) 262.4 Liters
Tuning Frequency (Fb) 24.1 Hz
F3 (-3 dB Cutoff) 33.9 Hz
F6 / F10 Extension 28.0 Hz / 21.5 Hz
Port Inner Diameter Ø 39.4 cm
Port Physical Length 211.6 cm
First Pipe Resonance 81.0 Hz
Estimated MOL @ F3 121.3 dB SPL
⚠️ Port feasibility: a straight tube would need 211.6 cm and cannot fit in a practical cabinet, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. Prefer the sealed alignment, a passive radiator, or a 3D folded duct in Load Forge Studio.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.7 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 0.99; 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 Stereo Integrity IB-24?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Stereo Integrity IB-24: the textbook alignment (262.4 liters tuned to 24.1 Hz) needs a 211.6 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 Stereo Integrity IB-24 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 328.0 liters with a Qtc of 0.99 (above Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 33.2 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Stereo Integrity IB-24 to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 39.4 cm port would need 211.6 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
