Enclosure Specifications

Net volumes given below do not include the air volume displaced by
the speaker (Driver Displacement). This value must be added to the
net volume along with the displacement of any braces and/or ports (if
applicable) to arrive at a gross internal volume. Air inside a port is not part
of the effective net volume. Calculate ports as solid, not hollow objects.
The dimensions given for the enclosure examples below take all applicable
displacements into consideration.

SAfETY NOTIcE!
It is absolutely essential that the completed subwoofer enclosure is mounted
firmly to the vehicle with heavy steel bolts (1/2 inch diameter) and large steel
washers on both sides of the bolts. This will reduce the likelihood of occupant
injury in the event of a collision or sudden deceleration.
