In the Thread: Macondo’s MiniMe or about Pilot Acoustic Systems

If the reason for the passive radiator is that you want to stop interaction between Macondo and MiniMe, I fail to see the sense. The passive radiator is a replacement for the port. If the port causes you problems, so will the passive radiator, assuming it is the resonance of the port that bothers you and not some other phenomenon (which I assume to be the case since your are talking about the Helmholtz resonance).

Of course, if you could find a passive radiator whose membrane could be parked in a fixed position when the speaker is not in use, that might help things.
