Comp Ported (Vented) Enclosure Applications

Ported Comps? Absolutely...and with a vengeance! These enclosures incorporate huge tube ports with high-impact air velocities for sheet metal bending street bass that will make your “skin bounce on your bones!” These boxes are the enclosure of choice for outra- geous street bass and high performance SPL contests.

The ported Compact design increases bass efficiency and fits in many space-limited applications. Although it is the smallest recommended ported enclosure, the output from 30 to 80 Hz will be considerably higher than that of any sealed box. The two other ported designs have proportionately more output in this crucial frequency band.

The SPL / Deep Bass is the largest and most efficient enclosure design. The SPL / Deep Bass delivers the sonic output needed to win SPL contests and it produces bass notes “all the way down to tha cella”. This design turns heads and jump starts your heart.

If space is not a problem and you want to get the most from your Comp, try one of these ported designs. You will not be disappointed.
