A Few Words

About Enclosures

The enclosure or box that you choose for your Power Series woofer will deﬁne the sound that will ultimately come out of it. The size of the box and tuning frequency of port tubes in vented enclosures dictate the low- frequency performance and output capability of your system. The ﬂexibility designed into the Power Series subwoofers lets them make tons of bass in small sealed, vented and bandpass enclosures. They will also work well in inﬁnite bafﬂe applications where there is no space or budget to build a box. Be aware that inﬁ- nite bafﬂe or ”free air“ mounting will reduce the power handling
