About this driver

The SB Acoustics SATORI MR13P-8 is a woofer with a free-air resonance of 45 Hz and a total Q (Qts) of 0.31. Its efficiency-bandwidth product (EBP) of 136 points toward a ported alignment. In a 3.0 L sealed box it reaches an F3 of 102.6 Hz (Qtc 0.707); a suggested 5.2 L box tuned to 58.9 Hz extends to about 64.8 Hz. See the sealed vs ported guide for how to choose.

modeled estimate

These tweeters could pair with the SB Acoustics SATORI MR13P-8 in a two-way design, but the seed Thiele/Small data is too thin to grade the match yet — add or measure T/S (Fs, Sd, Xmax) to compute a real compatibility grade. You can still open a pair in the guided builder.

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