ENCLOSURE DESIGN

This section gives the basic description for a sealed enclosure. Orion HCCA woofers
are designed for sealed enclosures and vented enclosures. Sealed enclosures are
generally considered the most versatile for all music types and are the easiest to

all seams of the enclosure. The enclosure should also be screwed together. The
