The TantrumX subwoofers are over-engineered and overbuilt in virtually every way conceivable. It’s very important that the enclosure is built to these same exacting standards. The enclosure must be made 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 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 TantrumX 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 TantrumX subwoofer.

The charts contain several enclosure types. The Musical enclosure provides deeper, tighter and higher quality output to provide a more accurate reproduction of the original source material. The SPL enclosure, on the other hand, fits the basshead’s needs of maximum output while sacrificing some sound quality.

Speaker Design

The T a n t r u m X subwoofer was developed from the g round up to compliment the amazing performance of our Tantrum Series amplifiers. Utilizing cutting edge design techniques, we can deliver a woofer that has an i m p ressive peak to peak linear field excursion of up to 32mm. The injection-molded Tantrum heat sink dust cap in conjunction with the injection-molded polypro p y l e n e

Injection-Molded Rubber Motor Housing

cone provides exceptional musicality at very high drive levels. All of the motor and suspension parts have been computer optimized to provide symmetrical driving forc e in both directions. This translates into very low distortion and exceptional output even as your amplifier is running out of steam.
