About this driver
The Wavecor WF166TU02 is a 6.5″ woofer with a free-air resonance of 50 Hz and a total Q (Qts) of 0.48. Its efficiency-bandwidth product (EBP) of 100 points toward either alignment. In a 19.1 L sealed box it reaches an F3 of 73.7 Hz (Qtc 0.707); a suggested 39.6 L box tuned to 41.9 Hz extends to about 38.0 Hz. See the sealed vs ported guide for how to choose.
