- Page 7 Box Building Notes Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the “template” inside your CompQ subwoofer’s shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. These designs need internal bracing.
- Page 8 Do not install a port opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back- panel or trunk wall, seat or interior panel of your vehicle. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use the smallest dimension of the rectangular port as the minimum amount of space between the port opening and any solid surface to insure unrestricted airflow.

- Page 10 Sealed Enclosures These sealed enclosure designs give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest frequencies, 20 to 30Hz. These designs deliver massive amounts of highly-accurate bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifier power. The CompQ-Series high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure.

- Page 12 Vented Enclosures These boxes are the enclosure of choice if space is not a problem and you want to get the most output and low frequency extension from your CompQ subwoofer. CompQ subwoofers will handle massive amounts of power in any of the recommended enclosures, minimum or maximum.
