•We recommend that you build your enclosure out of 3/4” MDF (medium density fiberboard).

•Use a square to make sure that your right-angle cuts are accurate before you assemble your enclosure.

•Use high-quality wood glue and screws to assemble the enclosure to guarantee an airtight box that will not come apart due to excess vibration and pressure.

•For sealed enclosures, we recommend that you stuff the enclosure with 50 - 75% fiberglass insulation or Dacron fiberfill for increased sound dampening and subwoofer performance.

•For ported enclosures, we recommend that you staple 1” thick fiberglass insulation to the interior walls of your enclosure.

Caution

Use bare wire for the speaker push terminals. Do not solder the wires to the factory connectors because it may damage the voice coil or leads and may void your warranty.
