About this driver
The Eminence DeltaLite II 2512 is a 12″ woofer with a free-air resonance of 37 Hz and a total Q (Qts) of 0.39. Its efficiency-bandwidth product (EBP) of 84 points toward either alignment. In a 64.3 L sealed box it reaches an F3 of 67.1 Hz (Qtc 0.707); a suggested 131.5 L box tuned to 38.3 Hz extends to about 37.9 Hz. See the sealed vs ported guide for how to choose.
NOMINAL/manufacturer (Eminence official datasheet). Fs 37 Hz; Vas 147 L; Sd 519.5 cm2; BL 11.3 Tm; Mms 49 g; sensitivity 99.9 dB (1W/1m, 8 ohm => 2.83V/1m); usable 48-4000 Hz; Xlim 8.5 mm. Neodymium PA/bass-guitar. Earlier seed values (Fs 44, Qts 0.41, 96 dB, via Q Components) were an older/retailer spec - superseded by the current Eminence datasheet here.
