CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery

negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to
the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

MISE EN GARDE : avant d'entamer l'installation, décon-

nectez la broche négative (-) de la batterie
pour éviter tout risque de blessures, d’in­cendie ou de dommages à l'appareil.

PRECAUCIÓN: Antes de la instalación, desconecte el

terminal negativo de la batería (-) para
prevenir daño a la unidad, incendio y/o
posibles lesiones.

VORSICHT: Entfernen Sie vor dem Einbau den negative

Batteriepol, um Schäden am Gerät, Feuer
bzw. mögliche Verletzungen zu vermeiden.

ATTENZIONE: Prima dell’installazione, scollegate il

terminale negativo (-) della batteria per
evitare danni all’unità, pericoli d’incendio
e/o potenziali lesioni personali.

Calculating volume is merely a matter of measuring the
internal dimensions in inches and using the formula:

Para calcular el volumen sólo se han de medir las dimen­siones en centimetros y aplicar la fórmula:

On calcule le volume en mesurant la dimension de chaque
côté et en utilisant la formule suivante:

Zur Volumen-Berechung benötigen sie die genauen Maße
und Dimensionen in Zentimetern.

Calcolare il volume é essenzialmente solo un problema di
misurazione delle dimensioni in centimetri della cassa e di
applicazione della formula:

Box Volume = Height “ x Width” x Depth”

(cubic feet) 1728

Volumen du la caja = Alto(cm) x Ancho(cm) x Profundidad(cm)

(en litros) 1000

Volume du caisson = Hauteur (cm) x Longueur (cm) x Largeur (cm)

(Litres) 1000

Gehäuse-Volumen = Höhe (cm) x Breite (cm) x Tiefe (cm)

(Liter) 1000

Volume della cassa = Alteza(cm) x Larghezza(cm)x Profonditá(cm)

(litri) 1000

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 prevent air leaks. The box volume will directly impact the
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

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
