Ported/Vented Enclosure Applications
Ported
The following chart shows three recommended ported enclosures for each
Compact has increased bass efficiency over a sealed enclosure, yet can still fit in tighter applications.
It is the smallest design that will work well for each woofer. Although it is the smallest ported enclosure the output from 30 to 80 HZ will be considerably higher than that of a sealed box. This smallest vented design is for places where you can only give up the room normally taken up by two L7s in the normal small sealed boxes. The two other ported designs have proportionately more output in this region.
Street Bass is a medium sized enclosure that will kick out bass that can be heard for blocks away. And it does go LOW!
Finally, SPL / Deep Bass is a large enclosure that has it all. It is high efficiency and will deliver the output needed to win SPL contests, yet low frequencies go all the way down to the basement - with power that will shake the foundations! We’re talking truly awesome.

NOTE: The use of a subsonic filter is necessary to insure the life of the woofer in a ported enclosure
