Enclosure Information

The Octane-R subwoofers are over engineered and overbuilt in virtually every way conceivable. Its very important that the enclosure is built to these same exacting standards. The enclosure must be comprised of .75 inch MDF. Screws or air staples are excellent construction fasteners when used with a strong bonding “yellow” wood working glue that can fill joint gaps. Be sure that the enclosure’s panels are airtight at all joining seams. Lining the walls with a polyester matting 1 to 3 inches thick is sufficient.

Your PG dealer has extensive knowledge, tools and the experience needed for the design and construction necessary for your Octane-R subwoofer application. We also recommend you consult with your dealer for specific technical assistance related to your installation.

The charts provided should be used as a reference when building an enclosure for your Octane-R subwoofer. The charts contain several enclosure types. The Sound Quality enclosure provides deeper, tighter, and more musical output to truly reproduce the original source material. While the SPL fits the basshead’s needs of maximum output while sacrificing some sound quality.

Speaker Design

The Octane-R subwoofer was developed from the ground up to compliment the amazing performance of our Octane-R Series amplifiers. Utilizing cutting edge design techniques, we can deliver a woofer that has an impressive peak to peak field excursion of up to 25mm. Coupled to a one piece injection molded polypropylene cone provides exceptional musicality at very high drive levels. All of the motor and suspension parts have been computer optimized to provide symmetrical driving force in both directions. This translates into very low distortion and exceptional output even as your amplifier is running out of steam.
