A built-in mass disc offers a good starting point for most designs, and a convenient M5 threaded hole (screw included) allows different types of weights to be added if desired. Cosmetically and mechanically, the passives match the Designer Series line of drivers, with a poly coated paper cone and medium-roll rubber surround for clean excursion and long life. The possibilities with these passives are endless, from floor standing two-ways to small active/passive subwoofer systems. Recommended for use in passive radiator enclosure alignments with active drivers from 3" to 6.5" in diameter. Dual passive radiators are recommended for use with 6.5" active drivers. Specifications: • Fs: 24.5 Hz • Vas: 27.1 liters • Qms: 5.57 • Cms: 1.15 mm/N • Rms: 1 kg/s • Mms: 36.6 g • Sd: 128.7 sq. cm. • Xmax: 8 mm • Dimensions: Overall diameter: 176.28 mm, Cutout diameter: 143 mm, Depth: 47.75 mm Note: Adding mass to the passive radiator will decrease Fs and increase Qms. Tip: As a general rule the passive radiator(s) should be able to move double the volume of air as the active woofer(s)/subwoofer(s) in the system. For example: A passive radiator system for a 6-1/2" woofer/subwoofer that has 8mm of X-max would require 2-6-1/2" passive radiators with 8mm of X-max. For single passive radiator systems, it is common to use a passive that is larger than the active woofer(s)/subwoofer(s).

I like to prototype speaker cabinets using cardboard first. I added this alongside the other driver and made it floor facing. Really brang that low-end to life without any additional speaker.

I built a small subwoofer enclosure to fit under the back seat of a Nissan Frontier crew cab. Originally, the box had two Skar 6.5" subwoofers and it didn't sound good. Upon recommendation from a friend who is a audio professional, I replaced one of the woofers with this passive radiator. After a little bit of stuffing and tuning, it now sounds fantastic. Moving forward, now that I know the magic of a passive radiator, I will never go back. I plan to use this again for other projects.

I installed one of these 6.5 inch passive radiators in a sealed, shallow box with an 8" subwoofer. In installed the other on a sealed, shallow box with a 10" subwoofer in it. These passives really helped my boxes pump out about twice the amount of bass. With merely 50 watts per channel, my boxes now shake my chest and the seats in my car. I'm absolutely astonished.

It helped produce lower bass by a couple of decibels. I would buy again for another project on two per speaker instead of one. I thought my woofer had a very low volume ability before it made noises so I lived with it for 2 years. I just now found out it was the weight adding bolt on these radiators used to add washer weights to make them stiffer or less sensitive. If you do that make you put something on threads to make it fits tighter as mine were a little loose and rattled. I just took them out and now I can turn it up with no rattling noise.
