Notes

Build notes

Sample data: values are illustrative, not measured.

Two 12NBX100-8 drivers in a shared bass reflex enclosure, wired in parallel to present 4 Ω. The dual-12 format gives a larger Sd than a single 15“ with a more compact footprint per driver.

Port

  • Two round ports, 100 mm diameter each
  • Port length: 310 mm
  • Tuning: 44 Hz (Fb)

Wiring

Both drivers in parallel: nominal 4 Ω load. Ensure the amplifier is 4 Ω rated. Drivers should be matched (same production batch if possible) to keep displacement symmetrical.
