enclosure (such as Cat. No. 274-630) to mak e it easy to
connect the subwoofe r to your stereo amplif ier. This lets
you connect the subwoofer to the plate, then connect the
plate to your stereo amplifier.
Follow these steps to connect the subwoofer directly to

A single reflex bandpass enclosure combines the features of acoustic suspension and ported reflex designs. In
this type of enclosure, one side of the subwoofer is
mounted in an acoustic suspension en closure, while the
other side is mounted in a ported reflex enclosure.
A single reflex bandpass enclosure controls the movement of the speaker’s cone at low frequencies (like an
acoustic suspension enclosure), and has the ability to
sacrifice efficiency for deeper bass or vice versa. The frequency response of the sing le reflex bandpass enclosure
is controlled by the volume of the enclosure.
1. Run one wire from eac h of t he subwoofer’s terminals
to the stereo amplifier.
2. Separate each wire’s two conductors at both ends for
a length of about 2 inches, then strip the insulation
from the ends of each con ductor to expos e
1
/2 inch of
wire.

3. Twist the endcap from a banana plug (not supplied)
to remove it, route one of the speaker’s wires through
the endcap, then fold the exposed wire around the
top of the endcap.

Due to the complexity of its construction, a single reflex
bandpass enclosure can be difficult to design and build. If
you are inexperienced at building enclosures, we recommend that you build an acous t ic sus pension or port ed reflex enclosure.
CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER TO
YOUR STEREO AMPLIFIER
We recommend you use 12-gauge or thicker wire (such
as Cat. No. 278-1268, not supplied ) to connect the subwoofer to your stereo am plifier. For the maximum bass
response and the best overall performance, be sure to
connect + to + and
2
to –.
–
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each of the subwoofer’s
wires.
6. Press the banana plugs into the subwoofer’s terminals to connect them.
