Comparable 2.0" Drivers
Drivers with similar piston area, resonance and Qts — useful alternatives when the Wavecor FR055OM01 & FR055OM02 does not fit your target box volume or tuning. Each entry links to its full enclosure design and Thiele/Small parameters.
⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders
- Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 1.0 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 Wavecor FR055OM01 & FR055OM02?
Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Wavecor FR055OM01 & FR055OM02 in a 1.5 liter vented enclosure tuned to 110.5 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 98.5 Hz.
Can Wavecor FR055OM01 & FR055OM02 be used in a sealed box?
Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.35 liters with a Qtc of 1.216 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.86)), the system exhibits an F3 of 152.4 Hz.
What port dimensions should be used for Wavecor FR055OM01 & FR055OM02 to avoid port chuffing?
Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 28.6 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
