Not on file: Bolt circle, Flange thickness. Either the maker doesn't publish it or I haven't found it yet.

What the labels mean

  • Maker's datasheet: read off the maker's own datasheet or drawing.
  • Worked out from the maker's figures: Vd = Sd × Xmax, EBP = Fs ÷ Qes.
  • My estimate, from the maker's drawing: measured off the maker's drawing, usually within ±0.3 mm (up to ±0.5). The suggested cutout is the basket's width on the drawing plus 1 mm of clearance (1.5 mm on drivers over 200 mm). Measure before you cut.
  • NB Audio's listing: how I've filed it in the store.
