ABOUT THE RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES
The performance of these recommended enclosures will vary from vehicle to vehicle. It is more difficult to get a tight and well defined bass in a SEDAN vehicle because of the tightness between trunk and interior. In most cases the recommended enclusures below is the best choise. The vented box is to be preferred.
-The given enclosure volume is the inner volume.
-Volumes occupied by speaker and ports have already been added to the given enclosure volumes so don’t add any volume.
-Use conical bass ports for best result. (DLS BP75 for Iridium 10i & 12i, BP110 for Iridium 15). Cut the tube to the correct length.
There are two flanges coming with this kit. The larger one is for the outside, and the smaller one should be attached to the tube inside the enclosure.
Make a round hole in the box where you want to mount the bass port.
The larger flange should beattached to the outside of the box. Fasten it to the box with screws or with some glue. There are prepared drill holes on the back of the flange.
The smaller flange is for the inner end of the tube. Use a
Then glue the tube to the port mounted in the box. Use sealing compound round the flange to make the box as airtight as possible.
ENCLOSURE PLACING IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES
In small vehicles like VW Golf, Peugeot 306 and similar the bass box should be installed with both speaker and port directed backwards. Alternatively booth speaker and port can be directed upwards. This way of mounting is valid for all types of vehicles where the trunk is incorporated with the inner compartment.
In sedan vehicles with the passenger compartment separated from the trunk, the enclosure should be installed with booth speaker and port directed towards the rear seat. Some cars have an opening in the middle of the rear seat for loading skis etc. You can install the enclosure behind this opening and direct speaker or port through this opening. There must be some free space in front of the port, (between the rear seat and the port opening).
In large vehicles like station wagons the best sound is achieved with the enclosure installed behind the rear seat with booth spea- ker and port directed backwards. Alternatively you can install the enclosure on one side of the luggage compartment.
CALCULATE YOUR OWN ENCLOSURE
Box volumes:
When calculating the inner volume of an enclosure you just multiply the width (W) x height (H) x depth (D).
Use measures in dm and you will get the answer in liters.
A trapezoid box is calulated as this:
Vol=width (W) x height (H) x upper depth (UD) + lower depth (LD)
