About this driver

The SB Acoustics SATORI WO34HC-8 is a woofer with a free-air resonance of 20.2 Hz and a total Q (Qts) of 0.29. Its efficiency-bandwidth product (EBP) of 67 points toward either alignment. In a 48.1 L sealed box it reaches an F3 of 49.3 Hz (Qtc 0.707); a suggested 80.1 L box tuned to 28.3 Hz extends to about 32.2 Hz. See the sealed vs ported guide for how to choose.

modeled estimate

These tweeters could pair with the SB Acoustics SATORI WO34HC-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.
