⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (1.5 L at 75.6 Hz) would need a 65.1 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 1.5 L at 90.7 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 2.7 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.64 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 0.905; 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 Wavecor WF095WA01_02?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Wavecor WF095WA01_02 in a 1.5 liter vented enclosure tuned to 90.7 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 101.0 Hz.

Can Wavecor WF095WA01_02 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 1.5 liters with a Qtc of 0.905 (above Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 110.7 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Wavecor WF095WA01_02 to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 44.1 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
