SealedEnclosureApplications
The CompVX generates more sound pressure than competing subwoofers on the market and excels when used in the recommended sealed boxes. These sealed enclosure designs give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest frequencies, 20 to 30Hz. These designs deliver massive amounts of

The CompVX high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure. This maximum enclosure volume application is ideal for SQ (ultra sound quality) installations. The SQ enclosure generates a very flat response curve and superbly extends the subbass response.
CompVX woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume |
recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefits of both designs: Compact produces |
bass, and SQ generates low bass frequency protraction. Overall, the system will sound more like the |
recommended enclosure design it is closest to in enclosure volume. These enclosure recommendations |
WiringOptions
CompVX subwoofers are available with dual 2Ω (ohm) or dual 4Ω voice coils. Both coils must be connected to a source of amplification. The dual 2Ω woofer will generate a 1Ω load if the coils are wired in parallel or a 4Ω load in series. The dual 4Ω woofer will provide a 2Ω load wired in parallel or
8Ω load wired in series. The terminals with the white dots are for the first voice coil. The terminals with
