Enclosure Dimensions

Included in this manual are a number of different enclosure suggestions. These are by no means the only enclosures to use, but the provide a starting point to determine the correct enclosure for your needs many factors must be addressed (amount of power, vehicle, placement, crossovers, etc) Therefore, as always, SOUNDSTREAM recommends that your subwoofer be installed by an authorized SOUNDSTREAM dealer.

Enclosure Construction

All enclosures should be made of .75" (3/4") material only. When possible, make the baffle 1.5" (1 12 ) thick and add .75" (3/4") to the depth of the enclosure to compensate. All volumes INCLUDE vent/port and subwoofer displacements. DO NOT change the volume unless you plan on adding a substantial amount of bracing. For added performance, applying a coat of fiberglass resin to the interior walls will greatly improve sealing the enclosure. Adding a thin layer of poly-fill will improve response by smoothing out reflections within the enclosure.
