This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important
instructions. Failure to heed the instructions
can result in injury or unit damage.
To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please
read and follow the instructions in this manual. We
want you to enjoy this system, not get a headache.
If you feel unsure about installing this system
yourself, have it installed by a qualified Rockford
Fosgate technician.
RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES
VENTED ENCLOSURES
Vented enclosures vary only from the sealed enclosure in that a vent or
port is added to “tune” the enclosure. The enclosures recommended are
designed for great overall performance. Larger boxes tend to be easy to
tune to lower frequencies while medium and small boxes are easier
to tune to higher frequencies.The vented design is less linear in
response than the sealed box but with noticeably more output at
the tuning frequency.
Advantages of vented enclosures:
Higher average output than sealed
Tuning frequency can be easily adjusted by changing port length
Deep bass response with lower power requirements
Great for high output with limited power
CAUTION
Before installation, disconnect the battery negative
(-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire
adn/or possible injury.
PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may
cause permanent hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems
may produce sound pressure levels well over 130dB. Use common
sense and practice safe sound.
DESIGN FEATURES
These woofers were designed for use primarily in small ported
enclosures. By utilizing the latest materials and construction techniques,
we are able to offer a speaker with high output at low frequencies while
requiring a minimum of operating space.
BUILDING AN ENCLOSURE
To work properly, the walls of the enclosure must be rigid and not flex
when subjected to the high pressures generated by the speaker's
operation. For optimum performance, we recommend using 3/4" MDF
(Medium Density Fiberboard) and internal bracing.The enclosure should
be glued together and secured with nails or screws.
CALCULATING VOLUME
Calculating volume is merely a matter of measuring the dimensions in
inches and using the formula: H x W x D divided by 1728 (cubic feet).
See block below.

Box Vol ume Height"x Width"x Depth
Divided by (cubic feet) 1728
If two facing sides are of uneven length,add them together and divide by
two to take the average. Using this number will give you the volume
without the necessity of calculating the box in sections and adding the
sections together.The thickness of the baffle material reduces the internal
volume so this must be subtracted from the outside dimensions to
determine the internal volume.The speaker itself also reduces the
internal volume.The amount of air displaced by each model is listed on
the specification sheet and should also be subtracted from the gross
volume calculation.

VEENTED NCLOSURES
NOTE: Vb is the gross volume, which is the TOTAL internal volume, before any speaker and/or port displacement.
All external dimensions were based on the use of 3/4" (1.90cm) materials.
NOTE: When using enclosures other than recommended, call Technical Support for correct application.

NOTE: The port shown can be placed on any face of the enclosure as long as the port ends are not obstructed.
NOTE: When using vented enclosures, for maximum reliability and power handling ensure that a subsonic or "infrasonic" filter is used so that
only usable low frequency signal is sent to the subwoofer.
