01Is this driver right for a ported box?

Efficiency bandwidth product places the motor before anything else is decided.

EBP = Fs ÷ Qes = 43.0
SEALED 0–50 TRANSITION 50–100 PORTED 100–150 0 50 100 150 EBP 43.0
Audiomobile GT2 2010 · EBP 43.0
Under 50 the raw number leans sealed. The Audiomobile GT2 2010 reads 43.0, so this is a ported build against the grain of its own EBP: it works because the alignment is tuned for in-car response rather than for an anechoic curve, and because the cabinet holds port area and volume the driver can actually use.

02What the box does to it

0.92 cu ft net against a 33.2 L Vas, vented at 34.5 Hz.

Fb = 34.5 Hz  ·  F3 = 32.0 Hz  ·  passband ripple 3.79 dB
20 30 50 70 100 150 200 +8 +4 0 −4 −8 −12 −16 −20 −24 −28 FREQUENCY · Hz LEVEL · dB −3 dB Fb 34.5
Audiomobile GT2 2010 · Fb 34.5 Hz, F3 32.0 Hz
Anechoic, before any cabin gain, with the 27 Hz subsonic filter already applied. The vent takes over below 34 Hz and the cone stops doing the work there, which is what holds travel down at the bottom of the passband.

03Ported vs Sealed

No sealed comparison is shown for this driver.

A ported-versus-sealed chart is only worth reading against a sealed box someone would actually build: the one we make for the driver, or the one its maker recommends. Neither exists for the Audiomobile GT2 2010 — we do not build a sealed enclosure for it and Audiomobile publish no sealed volume for it — so rather than compare this cabinet against itself stuffed and sealed, a box no one would build, the comparison is left out.

04The watts that reach Xmax (in this enclosure)

Travel scales with the square root of power, so there is one wattage that puts the cone exactly on Audiomobile's published 11.9 mm. The two traces are the same cabinet with the subsonic filter switched on and switched off.

PXmax = 922 W with a 27 Hz subsonic  ·  129 W with none  →  the filter is worth 7.2×
20 30 50 70 100 150 200 0 4 8 12 FREQUENCY · Hz CONE TRAVEL · mm PAST LINEAR TRAVEL · Xmax 11.9 mm design limit 10.1 mm · 70% BL derated 922 W reaches Xmax here
922 W · subsonic at 27 Hz, 24 dB/oct129 W · no subsonic filterXmax 11.9 mm one-way, published
Each trace touches the limit and no further, because each is drawn at the exact power that puts the cone on 11.9 mm. With a 27 Hz subsonic that takes 922 W, reached first at 50 Hz. Take the filter away and the same cabinet reaches 11.9 mm on 129 W — the filter is worth 7.2× the safe power. A vent unloads the cone below tuning, so there is nothing holding it once the box stops loading: on a sealed build a subsonic filter is an improvement, here it is required equipment. The unfiltered trace is still rising where this chart stops at 20 Hz, so treat 129 W as a bound rather than a floor. Every wattage on this page is a MECHANICAL limit, not an electrical one. It is the power at which the cone runs out of linear travel in this cabinet, and nothing more. What the voice coil can dissipate as heat is a separate ceiling set by the driver, not by the box — Audiomobile rate this one at 400 W RMS, and that is the number that binds first here: heat stops you before travel does, so treat 400 W as the ceiling and the travel figures above as headroom. Final wired impedance, amplifier output and how long you hold the level are all electrical questions this graph does not answer. The dashed line at 10.1 mm is the figure the cabinet was actually designed against: Audiomobile publish this Xmax on a 70% BL basis, and we derate it before sizing the port so the alignment carries margin against an optimistic spec rather than sitting right on it.

From the shop floor

Installer's take

The GT2 is a driver Audiomobile tells you to port, and this is the box that does what they ask: 0.92 cubic feet at 34.5 Hz, inside their own 0.75 to 1.25 at 33 to 37. It reaches 32.0 Hz anechoic and stays even in the car.

The port mouth runs under 12 m/s at full power, well clear of chuffing, and the cone stays inside its travel at the rating with a subsonic filter set near 28 Hz.

Audiomobile prints no bolt circle, so the inserts ship in the kit: mark from the driver, drill, press. What sets the depth is the port panel clearing the 4.25 inch motor, which is why the top is 7.25 inches.

Single 3 ohm coil, 400 watts RMS by Audiomobile's rating. It ships dry: no polyfill in a ported box.

Questions

Why is this enclosure tuned to 34.5 Hz?

With a Qts of 0.61 the GT2 never reaches a flat sealed box in a trunk; our 0.80 cubic foot sealed wedge reads Qtc 0.96 and half power at 34.6 Hz. Vented, the same driver reaches 32.0 Hz in a box only slightly larger, with an even in-car response: 2.4 dB of spread from 25 to 60 Hz. The port runs 20.4 m/s in the channel and only 11.7 at the flared mouth at the 400 W rating, and the cone peaks at 7.8 of its derated 10.1 mm. Passband ripple is 3.8 dB. Tuning is chosen for in-car response rather than an anechoic curve: a vehicle adds roughly 12 dB per octave below about 45 Hz. In this cabinet that lands at 2.4 dB of in-car spread across 25 to 60 Hz.

Why the 20 degree wedge, and why rear-firing?

The raked face is the seat side. A factory rear seat back leans about 20 degrees off vertical, so the cabinet sits flat against it and uses floor a square box wastes. The baffle stays vertical and fires rearward into the trunk, which acts as the acoustic extension into the cabin. This one is 12.16 inches deep at the base and 7.25 at the top, 30.00 wide and 13.5 tall.

Do I need a subsonic filter?

Yes, at 27 Hz, 24 dB per octave. Below tuning a vented box stops loading the cone and excursion runs away toward DC. With the filter in place this cabinet puts the Audiomobile GT2 2010 at 78 percent of its usable travel at full rated power; without it there is no meaningful number to quote.

How much power can I run, and at what impedance?

Audiomobile rate the GT2 2010 at 400 W RMS and that is the thermal ceiling. The Performance Graphs tab shows the mechanical limit, the power at which the cone reaches the end of its travel in this cabinet: here the cone sits at 78 percent of usable travel at the rating, so heat is what stops you, not travel. A D2 coil is 4 ohms in series or 1 ohm in parallel; run series unless the amplifier is rated for 1 ohm. A D4 is 8 series or 2 parallel.

Would a sealed box be better for me?

Not one we can show you. We do not build a sealed enclosure for the Audiomobile GT2 2010 and Audiomobile publish no sealed volume for it, so the Performance Graphs tab carries no ported-versus-sealed chart: the only sealed box left to plot would be this cabinet stuffed and sealed, which nobody would build, and a comparison against it would tell you nothing you could buy. What a vented box gives up is the region below tuning, where the cone unloads and the 27 Hz subsonic filter takes over; around 34.5 Hz the vent carries the load and cone travel drops to its minimum, which no sealed alignment can do.

How does the side port work?

It is a triangular slot in the bottom-rear corner: the floor and the raked back wall are two sides, one bevelled panel is the third. It runs across the cabinet, opens into the box through a 2.73 inch gap at the far end and exits through the side panel as the same triangle. Straight, no bend: 25.52 inches of path and 13.0 square inches of channel running at 20.4 metres per second, 54 percent of its turbulence limit. The three mouth edges are rounded over at 1/2 inch, so the opening at the face is 22.5 square inches and the air leaves it at 11.7 metres per second against the 17.0 threshold where a slot port starts to chuff; the panel's throat end is rounded at 3/8 inch for the same reason. The terminal cup is on the other side.

Does this enclosure ship with polyfill?

No, and do not add any. Every sealed Proline X enclosure ships with polyfill; a ported one must not, because damping changes the effective volume the port is tuned against. The port here is cut to 25.52 inches for 34.5 Hz. Stuff it and you move the tuning without shortening the port.

Is the GT2 2010 included?

No. This is an enclosure only, cut for the Audiomobile GT2 2010 specifically: the 9.200 inch cutout, the 4.250 inch mounting depth allowance and the 0.92 cubic foot alignment all come from Audiomobile's published parameters. It fits both coil versions; the alignment published here is the S3. Bring your own driver.
