Enclosure suggestion
The EBP of 181 suggests a bass-reflex enclosure. EBP = fs / Qes = 65 / 0.36
Sealed (Qtc 0.707)
- Enclosure volume Vb
- 8.4 l
- System resonance Fc
- 139 Hz
- Cut-off frequency F3
- 139 Hz
Bass reflex (QB3 after Small)recommended
- Enclosure volume Vb
- 15.5 l
- Tuning frequency Fb
- 80 Hz
- Cut-off frequency F3
- 87 Hz
Vb is the required net internal volume, Fb the tuning frequency of the reflex port and F3 the frequency at which the level has dropped by 3 dB. Calculated approximation after Small. A starting point for simulation, not a finished build plan.
