SAFETY
Before installation, disconnect the battery CAUTION: negative
to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems may produce sound pressure levels well over 130dB. Use common sense and practice safe sound.

RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES
SEALED ENCLOSURES
Sealed enclosures are the simplest to build.The most important part of building a sealed enclosure is to make sure that the enclosure is airtight. Using glue and some type of sealant on all seams will ensure solid construction and prevent air leaks.The box volume will directly impact the performance of the speaker. Larger enclosures will provide flatter response and deeper bass where smaller boxes will provide a bump in the response curve and generally higher output for greater SPL.
Advantages of sealed enclosures:
• Small enclosures
• Linear (Flat) response
• No port noise
• High power handling at all frequencies
• Excellent for sound quality
• Extended low frequency output when compared to vented enclosures
BUILDING AN ENCLOSURE
To work properly, the walls of the enclosure must be rigid and not flex when subjected to the high pressures generated by the speaker's operation. For optimum performance, we recommend using 3/4" MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and internal bracing.The enclosure should be glued together and secured with nails or screws.
CALCULATING VOLUME
Calculating volume is merely a matter of measuring the dimensions in inches and using the formula: H x W x D divided by 1728 (cubic feet). See block below.
Box Volume | Height" x Width" x Depth" | |
Divided by (cubic feet) | 1728 | |
If two facing sides are of uneven length, add them together and divide by two to take the average. Using this number will give you the volume without the necessity of calculating the box in sections and adding the sections together.The thickness of the baffle material reduces the internal volume so this must be subtracted from the outside dimensions to determine the internal volume.The speaker itself also reduces the internal volume.The amount of air displaced by each model is listed on the specification sheet and should also be subtracted from the gross volume calculation.
