About this driver

The SB Acoustics SATORI MW16P-12 is a 6″ midwoofer with a free-air resonance of 30.6 Hz and a total Q (Qts) of 0.37. Its efficiency-bandwidth product (EBP) of 77 points toward either alignment. In a 17.8 L sealed box it reaches an F3 of 58.5 Hz (Qtc 0.707); a suggested 35.6 L box tuned to 33.4 Hz extends to about 33.9 Hz. See the sealed vs ported guide for how to choose.

modeled estimate

The tweeters below pair well with the SB Acoustics SATORI MW16P-12 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.
