RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES

SEALED ENCLOSURES

Sealed enclosures are the simplest to build.The most important part of
building a sealed enclosure is to make sure that the enclosure is airtight.
Using glue and some type of sealant on all seams will ensure solid
construction and pr
performance of the speaker. Larger enclosures will provide flatter
response and deeper bass where smaller boxes will provide a bump in the
response curve and generally higher output for greater SPL.

Advantages of sealed enclosures:

• Small enclosures

• Linear (Flat) response

• No port noise

• High power handling at all frequencies

• Excellent for sound quality

• Extended low frequency output when compared to vented enclosures

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 secur

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

event air leaks.The box volume will directly impact the

ed with nails or screws.

*NOTE: Vb is NET volume (internal volume needed for

oofer). Speaker, bracing and/or port displace-

w
ment should be added to this volume. External

dimensions are based on 3/4" (1.90cm) MDF.

NOTE: When using enclosures other than recommended, con-

tact RFTECH Support for correct application.

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
