Building an enclosure

When building an enclosure, the walls should be as rigid as possible and not flex.

Flexing of the enclosure can drastically decrease your subwoofers performance.

It is recommended that Enclosures be built using 3/4” MDF, be glued and

secured with nails or screws. Add bracing to each of the larger unsupported

panels. Your enclosures construction has a significant bearing on how well your

subwoofers perform. When designing your enclosure keep in mind and account

for wood thickness, port and woofer displacement.

Calculating volume

Measure the available space for the enclosure and using the formula (H X W X L

divided by 1728) determine the appropriate measurements needed in order to

achieve the desired cubic enclosure. If two facing sides are of uneven lengths add

them together and divide by two.

Wiring subwoofers

When designing your system it is important to achieve a good power match

between your subwoofer amplifier and the subwoofers capability. RMS power

should be considered as a regular method of driving the subwoofer, make use of

the power without drastically overdriving the amplifier. Amplifiers cannot read

how many subwoofers are in the connection, they normally read the final

impedance or otherwise known as ohms. It is important to properly match your

amplifiers normal operating impedance with right subwoofer configuration.
