Enclosure Guidelines

J12W
To work properly, the walls of your enclosure must be free
from flexing during high sound pressure generated by your
subwoofer(s).
For best performance, always use MDF (Medium Density
Fiberboard) or Baltic Birch Plywood to build your enclosure. We
highly recommend that your wood be at least 3/4" in thickness.
The enclosure should be sealed internally with silicon or glue and
secured with screws every 4".
Assemble the box before cutting the subwoofer hole(s). If the box
will be mounted in a vehicle, it should be fastened securely using
metal "L" shaped brackets.
To build an enclosure, calculations will need to be made using the
information found on the following 3 pages.
Remember:
• Use 3/4" MDF or Baltic Birch Plywood
• Use wood glue in joints
• Seal joints with silicon caulking
• Use screws every 2 to 4 inches
