Sealed Enclosure Applications - Kicker COMPVR CVR10 Owner's Manual

SEALED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
These sealed enclosure designs give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest
frequencies, 20Hz-30Hz. These designs deliver highly-accurate bass and can be driven with large levels
of amplifier power. This maximum enclosure volume application is ideal for ultra sound quality installations.
The maximum enclosure generates a very flat response curve and superbly extends the sub-bass
response.
CompVR woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the minimum and maximum
volume recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefits of both designs: Minimum produces
high-impact bass, and maximum generates low bass frequency protraction. Overall, the system will
sound more like the recommended enclosure design it is closest to in enclosure volume. These
enclosure recommendations have been calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure and include the
displacement of the woofer. All sealed-enclosure airspace should be filled to 50% loose poly-fil (polyester
fiberfill) stuffing. Do not make the airspace greater than the maximum enclosure volume recommendation.
