The combined cone area of two 8\" drivers approaches a single 12\", and the ported alignment at 36Hz pushes that combined output into the upper sub-bass range where the efficiency peak delivers the most audible impact.

drivers are usually where a ported build stops making sense: too little cone area to move the air, too little compliance to tune low. The ID8 V4 is the exception because of one number. It resonates at 31 Hz free-air, which is lower than most twelves manage, and a motor that reaches that far down can be vented properly rather than as a gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTuned to 34.0 Hz in 1.04 cubic feet it reaches an anechoic F3 of 30.2 Hz. That is deeper than three of the twelve inch cabinets in this same range, from a driver with less than half their cone area. It is also the smallest box we build ported, at 12.50 inches of external depth, which is the whole reason to want an eight in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe port is the product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA ported cabinet is easy to get wrong and the failure is audible. This one uses an\n  L-wrap slot port: a single folded wall running down the long side of the box past the\n  woofer ring, turning once through a faceted 90 degree bend, and opening through a\n  chamfered corner. One wall, one bend, 27.82 inches of centreline path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe channel is 2.50 inches wide by 6.25 tall, 15.6 square inches, and it exits\n  through a 17.7 square inch mouth. Air leaves at 10.8 metres per second at the tuning\n  frequency, against the 17.0 metre per second threshold where a slot port starts to\n  chuff. The bend is faceted rather than square because the inner corner of a 90 degree\n  turn is where flow separates, and a sharp corner there is what you hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-highlight\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis enclosure ships dry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyfill goes in every sealed Proline X\n    cabinet we build. It does not go in this one. Damping material in a vented box\n    changes the effective volume the port is tuned against, which moves the tuning\n    frequency away from the 34.0 Hz the port length was cut for. Adding it does not make\n    a ported box sound like a bigger ported box; it makes it a mistuned one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRun a subsonic filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is not optional advice on a vented enclosure. Below tuning the port stops\n  loading the cone and excursion climbs without limit toward DC, so a 27 Hz high-pass at\n  24 dB per octave is part of the specification rather than a refinement of it. Set it\n  and the same cabinet takes substantially more power for the same cone travel. Leave it\n  out and the driver runs out of suspension on material you cannot hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEvery wattage on the Performance Graphs tab is a mechanical limit, not an electrical\n  one: it is the power at which the cone reaches the end of its linear travel in this\n  box.

Nothing else in the ported range gets that low, in any size, including every twelve. It comes from an eight inch cone in 1.08 cubic feet, and it is the whole reason the product exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTwo things make it possible. The NB2-8 has 6.96 litres of Vas, so the suspension is stiff enough that the box barely participates in the alignment and the port can be sized for the job rather than as a compromise. And a 0.448 Qts is low enough to vent hard. Tuned to 33.0 Hz in a 13.50 inch cabinet, that combination puts the half-power point below every other cabinet in this line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe port is the product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA ported cabinet is easy to get wrong and the failure is audible. This one uses an\n  L-wrap slot port: a single folded wall running down the long side of the box past the\n  woofer ring, turning once through a faceted 90 degree bend, and opening through a\n  chamfered corner. One wall, one bend, 28.82 inches of centreline path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe channel is 2.50 inches wide by 6.25 tall, 15.6 square inches, and it exits\n  through a 22.1 square inch mouth. Air leaves at 13.3 metres per second at the tuning\n  frequency, against the 17.0 metre per second threshold where a slot port starts to\n  chuff. The bend is faceted rather than square because the inner corner of a 90 degree\n  turn is where flow separates, and a sharp corner there is what you hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-highlight\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis enclosure ships dry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyfill goes in every sealed Proline X\n    cabinet we build. It does not go in this one. Damping material in a vented box\n    changes the effective volume the port is tuned against, which moves the tuning\n    frequency away from the 33.0 Hz the port length was cut for. Adding it does not make\n    a ported box sound like a bigger ported box; it makes it a mistuned one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRun a subsonic filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is not optional advice on a vented enclosure.

this driver is vented at 34.0 Hz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis cabinet measures 0.96 dB of anechoic passband ripple. Only the Prodigy NB3-12 is flatter, and that is a twelve. For an eight inch driver in a vented box, which is the alignment most likely to produce a hump at tuning, that is an unusually clean result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIt comes from a driver that is easy to load. The 8W1v3 has a 0.42 Qts and 19.3 litres of Vas, which is a well-damped motor with enough compliance that the cabinet does not have to fight it. Tuned to 34.0 Hz in 1.09 cubic feet the alignment falls out without being forced, and the port runs at 37 percent of its turbulence limit with 11.8 metres per second at the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe port is the product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA ported cabinet is easy to get wrong and the failure is audible. This one uses an\n  L-wrap slot port: a single folded wall running down the long side of the box past the\n  woofer ring, turning once through a faceted 90 degree bend, and opening through a\n  chamfered corner. One wall, one bend, 26.76 inches of centreline path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe channel is 2.50 inches wide by 6.25 tall, 15.6 square inches, and it exits\n  through a 17.7 square inch mouth. Air leaves at 11.8 metres per second at the tuning\n  frequency, against the 17.0 metre per second threshold where a slot port starts to\n  chuff. The bend is faceted rather than square because the inner corner of a 90 degree\n  turn is where flow separates, and a sharp corner there is what you hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-highlight\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis enclosure ships dry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyfill goes in every sealed Proline X\n    cabinet we build. It does not go in this one. Damping material in a vented box\n    changes the effective volume the port is tuned against, which moves the tuning\n    frequency away from the 34.0 Hz the port length was cut for. Adding it does not make\n    a ported box sound like a bigger ported box; it makes it a mistuned one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRun a subsonic filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is not optional advice on a vented enclosure. Below tuning the port stops\n  loading the cone and excursion climbs without limit toward DC, so a 27 Hz high-pass at\n  24 dB per octave is part of the specification rather than a refinement of it. Set it\n  and the same cabinet takes substantially more power for the same cone travel. Leave it\n  out and the driver runs out of suspension on material you cannot hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEvery wattage on the Performance Graphs tab is a mechanical limit, not an electrical\n  one: it is the power at which the cone reaches the end of its linear travel in this\n  box.

8 has 9.9 litres of Vas. That is the smallest compliance of any full-size driver here, and it describes a suspension stiff enough that the enclosure has very little influence over what the driver does. That fact shapes everything about this cabinet and it is worth understanding before you buy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eGiven 1.05 cubic feet vented at 37.0 Hz it reaches an anechoic F3 of 31.2 Hz with the port at 37 percent of its turbulence limit and 13.0 metres per second at the mouth. The high tuning is not a choice so much as an acknowledgement: a 39.6 Hz motor with this little compliance has nothing to give lower down, and tuning under it would only put a hole in the passband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe port is the product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA ported cabinet is easy to get wrong and the failure is audible. This one uses an\n  L-wrap slot port: a single folded wall running down the long side of the box past the\n  woofer ring, turning once through a faceted 90 degree bend, and opening through a\n  chamfered corner. One wall, one bend, 28.00 inches of centreline path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe channel is 3.00 inches wide by 6.25 tall, 18.8 square inches, and it exits\n  through a 22.1 square inch mouth. Air leaves at 13.0 metres per second at the tuning\n  frequency, against the 17.0 metre per second threshold where a slot port starts to\n  chuff. The bend is faceted rather than square because the inner corner of a 90 degree\n  turn is where flow separates, and a sharp corner there is what you hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-highlight\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis enclosure ships dry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyfill goes in every sealed Proline X\n    cabinet we build. It does not go in this one. Damping material in a vented box\n    changes the effective volume the port is tuned against, which moves the tuning\n    frequency away from the 37.0 Hz the port length was cut for. Adding it does not make\n    a ported box sound like a bigger ported box; it makes it a mistuned one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRun a subsonic filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is not optional advice on a vented enclosure. Below tuning the port stops\n  loading the cone and excursion climbs without limit toward DC, so a 29 Hz high-pass at\n  24 dB per octave is part of the specification rather than a refinement of it. Set it\n  and the same cabinet takes substantially more power for the same cone travel. Leave it\n  out and the driver runs out of suspension on material you cannot hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEvery wattage on the Performance Graphs tab is a mechanical limit, not an electrical\n  one: it is the power at which the cone reaches the end of its linear travel in this\n  box.

The Down Fire version of this driver reads 4.62 dB.

a 53 Hz motor with a 0.98 Qts, 6.4 litres of Vas and 125 watts on 3.11 inches of mounting depth, and the wedge gives it 0.78 cubic feet net vented at 34 Hz through a 10.6 square inch port.

At 34 Hz the anechoic F3 is 29.4 Hz on 1.83 dB of ripple, and in the car it spreads 5.40 dB across 25 to 60 Hz, because a 53 Hz motor is gone before cabin gain arrives. The port takes 25.66 of the 26.11 inches available and runs at 14.3 metres per second in the channel against a 14.9 limit, 7.8 at the rounded mouth, one of the quietest ports in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTrunk-load wedge, explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe 20 degree face is the seat side\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA factory rear seat back\n    leans about 20 degrees off vertical.

a 35.1 Hz motor with a 0.47 Qts, 15.3 litres of Vas and 250 watts, and the wedge gives it 0.96 cubic feet net vented at 34.5 Hz through a 13.0 square inch port.

The 8W1v3 in this line reads 3.06 in the car. JL's own sealed recommendation is 0.30 cubic feet. The port takes 24.49 of the 25.88 inches available and runs at 20.0 metres per second in the channel against a 20.1 limit, 11.5 at the rounded mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTrunk-load wedge, explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe 20 degree face is the seat side\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA factory rear seat back\n    leans about 20 degrees off vertical.

gives it 1.384 cubic feet net, vented at 33.0 Hz through a 21.9 square inch port. F3 lands at 27.4 Hz with 5.82 dB of passband ripple in the 30.0 by 14.0 by 12.9 inch enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded insert kit ships with this box.\u003c\/strong\u003e DD Audio does not publish the mounting hole locations for the 508e, so we cannot install the threaded inserts before it ships. The threaded insert kit comes in the box instead: inserts sized to the woofer, the correct drill bit, 2.5 inch allen-head screws, an allen key and woofer gasket tape. You set the inserts when you mount the woofer, and this box ships with one kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDD publishes a Qts of 0.71 for the 508e, and computing it from their own Qes of 0.82 and Qms of 5.01 lands within half a percent of that figure, so the driver's own numbers agree with each other. DD publish no vented recommendation for the 508e, so the 1.384 cubic foot net airspace and 33.0 Hz tuning come from our own solver working Fs, Qts and Vas against the coil's 500 W rating. At 600 W, 1.2 times that rating, the port mouth runs 12.4 m\/s, comfortably under the point where a slot starts to chuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it Professional\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThree-layer baffle, flush mount\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree layers of 3\/4 inch Langboard Elite make a 2.25 inch\n    front.

It ships as a parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDD does not publish an Sd figure for the 508e; the 197.9 cm2 used in this alignment is derived from their published piston diameter (Sd = pi times the radius squared), not read directly off a spec sheet. DD also publishes no Mms, Cms, Re, or the basis for its 14.0 mm Xmax figure (geometric or 70 percent BL), so those numbers ride on DD's own definition without a way to cross-check them independently. DD Audio does not publish the mounting hole locations for the 508e, so the threaded inserts cannot be pressed into the baffle before it ships; the threaded insert kit ships in the box instead. DD sells the 508e in D2 and D4. The D2 is two 2 ohm coils, 4 ohms in series or 1 ohm in parallel; the D4 is two 4 ohm coils, 8 ohms in series or 2 ohms in parallel. A 1 ohm parallel load needs an amplifier rated for it. DD publishes one Thiele-Small block for the model rather than a set per coil, so the cabinet is the same either way, and DD publishes no DC resistance at all. DD sells the 508e in D2 and D4.

through a 13.0 square inch port. The cabinet stands 11.8 inches tall and 30.0 inches wide, running 7.62 inches deep at the top and 11.90 at the base. DD publishes no vented recommendation for this model, so the curve stands on its own: a 32.1 Hz F3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA 0.398 Qts on 13.11 litres of Vas, with a Qes of 0.432 and a Qms of 5.139 behind it, is a motor built for a vented box rather than a small sealed one, and 37.5 Hz keeps the reach down to a 32.1 Hz F3. DD publishes no vented alignment of its own for the SL608, so this curve is not weighed against a factory number. The 214.1 square centimetre Sd behind that solve is not a DD figure either: DD publishes no Sd for this driver, so it is derived from DD's own published piston diameter using Sd = pi times the radius squared. The rear panel carries the wedge's 20 degree rake so the trunk-shaped cabinet sits low; the baffle the driver mounts to stays vertical, the port is a triangular chamber run through the side, and the baffle itself is a 1.5 inch double layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTrunk-load wedge, explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe 20 degree face is the seat side\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA factory rear seat back\n    leans about 20 degrees off vertical.

32.5 Hz through a 28.1 square inch port. The 25.5 by 14.0 by 16.2 inch enclosure gets F3 down to 28.2 Hz with 3.80 dB of passband ripple.

Ground Zero also publishes no driver displacement; the 0.049 cubic foot figure used here is estimated too, and it affects only the gross volume figure, not the tuning or port math. Ground Zero publishes no mounting hole locations for the GZRW 8XSPL, so the threaded insert kit ships loose in the box rather than pressed into the baffle before the cabinet ships.

The port carries 31.2 square inches of area at 34.0 Hz, and the design power for the velocity and excursion checks is 1200 W for the pair.

The channel runs 8.00 inches along its wall and turns once along the back wall for another 18.04 inches, which is why a 34.0 Hz tuning fits a 14.25 inch deep box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy this is a Professional build\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single GZRW 8XSPL also builds in the Performance Optimized ported down-fire, the smaller and cheaper single-driver box.

A windowed brace runs front to back beside the woofer, clearing the cutout by two and a half inches. The box ships dry: polyfill detunes a ported alignment. This is our dual 8 inch Professional envelope, built around the GZRW 8XSPL's own frame and mounting depth, with both woofers on one face and the port on the left. It ships as a parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePort mouth velocity peaks at 16.5 m\/s against the 17 m\/s point where a slot begins to chuff, and 24.9 m\/s in the channel, both measured at the pair's design power. Both drivers must be the same model and the same coil: mixing them puts unequal loads on one shared chamber, and neither driver sees the airspace it was picked for. Ground Zero does not publish the mounting hole locations for the GZRW 8XSPL, so we cannot install the threaded inserts before it ships.

This cabinet gives it 1.16 cubic feet net, vents it at 33.0 Hz through a 17.2 square inch slot and reaches an anechoic F3 of 28.1 Hz on a 31 by 18 by 7.75 inch down fire footprint that ships with feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSealed, the NSW8v3 needs 0.09 cubic feet net to reach a Qtc of 0.707.

Air leaves at 15.8 metres per second at the tuning\n  frequency, against the 17.0 metre per second threshold where a slot port starts to\n  chuff.

NVX's 8 inch at 41.0 Hz, a Qts of 0.48, 5.1 litres of Vas and 650 W RMS. This cabinet gives it 1.45 cubic feet net behind a 2.25 inch three-layer baffle, vented at 33.0 Hz through a 34.4 square inch slot beside the woofer, for an anechoic F3 of 27.8 Hz in a 28 by 14 by 16.9 inch front-firing box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSealed, the VCW8v3 needs 0.15 cubic feet net to reach a Qtc of 0.707. Vented, it trades that for deeper extension. The slot is gated at 780 W, 1.2 times NVX's rating: the channel runs 14.9 m\/s and the mouth 10.1, and the cone peaks at 11.3 of its 14 mm with the subsonic filter in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it Professional\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThree-layer baffle, flush mount\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree layers of 3\/4 inch Langboard Elite make a 2.25 inch\n    front.

The channel runs 10.38 inches along its wall, turns across the back wall for 19.25 inches, then turns again and runs forward along the far side for 3.73 inches: a two-bend wrap, which is how a 33.0 Hz tuning fits a 16.88 inch deep box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy this is a Professional build\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery driver is run through the Performance Optimized wedge and down-fire before this chassis; the Professional box is where a driver lands when that smaller envelope, 30 inches wide and 18 inches deep with a triangular side port, cannot give it what it needs at its rated power.

8 is American Bass's 8 inch at 37.2 Hz, a Qts of 0.35, 5.0 litres of Vas and 600 W RMS. This cabinet gives it 1.36 cubic feet net behind a 2.25 inch three-layer baffle, vented at 33.0 Hz through a 21.9 square inch slot beside the woofer, for an anechoic F3 of 28.0 Hz in a 30 by 14 by 12.9 inch front-firing box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded insert kit ships with this box.\u003c\/strong\u003e American Bass does not publish the mounting hole locations for the VFL Comp 8, so we cannot install the threaded inserts before it ships.

Vented, it trades that for deeper extension. The slot is gated at 720 W, 1.2 times American Bass's rating: the channel runs 21.4 m\/s and the mouth 12.6, and the cone peaks at 10.1 of its 13 mm with the subsonic filter in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it Professional\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"df-grid\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"df-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThree-layer baffle, flush mount\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree layers of 3\/4 inch Langboard Elite make a 2.25 inch\n    front.

The VFL Comp 8 did not clear the port gate there. The calmest wedge port that fits that envelope is 13.0 square inches at 29.0 by 9.62 by 13.90 inches, and its mouth runs 17.3 metres per second at 600 W against the 17 metres per second line where a port starts to chuff.

The frame is taken as 8.71 inches, the larger of the nominal size plus half an inch and the 7.40 inch cutout plus a typical flange, so the baffle is never cut short; the 0.055 cubic feet of displacement is our estimate from comparable 8 inch woofers and moves the tuning by a fraction of a hertz. American Bass does not say whether its 13 mm Xmax is one-way or peak to peak; we read it as one-way and keep power at its own rating. Tuning includes a 1.5 Hz fold loss that is an estimate, not a bench measurement. American Bass does not publish the mounting hole locations for the VFL Comp 8, so we cannot install the threaded inserts before it ships.

This cabinet gives it 1.26 cubic feet net behind a 2.25 inch three-layer baffle, vented at 34.5 Hz through a 21.9 square inch slot beside the woofer, for an anechoic F3 of 28.8 Hz in a 30 by 14 by 12 inch front-firing box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSealed, the 8W7AE wants room it rarely gets: JL's own 0.875 cubic foot box is a Qtc of 0.80 with half power at 41.3 Hz, and a maximally flat box would be 1.84 cubic feet. Vented, the same driver reaches 28.8 Hz.

Frame, mounting hole, mounting depth, bolt circle and displacement are all JL's own figures; nothing on this page is an estimate.
