Note: The use of a subsonic filter will significantly increase the power handling. The power handling specifications in these charts are
calculated using a 25Hz (68Hz for the Vented SPL enclosure), 24dB per octave

A Note on PowerHandlingCapacity SoloX subwoofers will handle massive amounts of power in any of the
recommended enclosures, minimum or maximum. The smaller enclosures are best for use in
applications. The larger recommended enclosures will yield more bass at the resonate frequency of the enclosure.
The listed Power Handling capacities assume that both voice coils are in use with the appropriate
frequency filter. Always connect both coils in a dual
