About this driver

The Dayton Audio PC105-4 is a 4″ fullrange with a free-air resonance of 81.4 Hz and a total Q (Qts) of 0.51. Its efficiency-bandwidth product (EBP) of 121 points toward a ported alignment. In a 0.1 L sealed box it reaches an F3 of 112.9 Hz (Qtc 0.707); a suggested 0.3 L box tuned to 64.0 Hz extends to about 57.1 Hz. See the sealed vs ported guide for how to choose.

modeled estimate

The tweeters below pair well with the Dayton Audio PC105-4 in a two-way design — each grade is a modeled estimate of the crossover match, with a suggested crossover point. Open any pair in the guided builder to design the crossover and total the parts.

Modeled estimate from T/S + geometry — no measurements. The verdict is robust; it improves with measured FRD/ZMA data.
