It works well with active drivers from 3 to 6.5 inches and includes a built-in mass disc plus an M5 threaded hole for optional weights, allowing tuning adjustments without enlarging the cabinet. The passive radiator is designed to complement the Designer Series look and feel, offering a cohesive aesthetic for upgrades or new builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted to endure regular use, the radiator features a poly coated paper cone and a medium‑roll rubber surround. A rugged stamped frame with a rear spider provides stability during excursion, helping maintain controlled motion when the system is driven. The combination of materials and geometry is intended to balance durability with consistent performance across a range of listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower tuning frequencies in compact enclosures for deeper perceived bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-throw suspension supports clean, linear excursion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged stamped frame with rear spider for stable operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable coated paper cone and rubber surround for longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM5 threaded hole and included mass for straightforward tuning adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign flexibility and practical uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for both replacement drivers and new constructions, the DS175-PR pairs with active drivers sized from 3 to 6.5 inches. For 6.5 inch active drivers, dual passive radiators are often recommended to balance air movement and extend low-end output. In single radiator setups, designers may opt for a passive element larger than the active woofer to maintain proportional motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe device provides a straightforward tuning path: add mass to the passive radiator to adjust Fs and Qms, enabling experimentation with enclosure volume and alignment. With a resonant frequency around 24.5 Hz and a Vas near 27.1 liters, the DS175-PR helps achieve a more flexible low-frequency response without resorting to larger cabinets. This makes it a practical choice for compact multi‑driver enclosures, small subwoofer projects, or floorstanding two‑ways that require a careful balance of size and bass extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a glance and handling tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFs 24.5 Hz, Vas 27.1 liters, Qms 5.57, Cms 1.15 mm\/N, Xmax 8 mm, Sd 128.7 cm², overall diameter 176.28 mm, depth 47.75 mm.
