ECOMMENDED NCLOSURES
This manual outlines two specific types of enclosures that provide distinctly different performance.
This section is to help you decide which type is best for your application.

SEALED ENCLOSURES

Sealed enclosures are the simplest to build. The most important part of building a sealed enclosure
is to make sure that the enclosure is airtight. Using glue and some type of sealant on all seams will
ensure solid construction and prevent air leaks. The box volume will directly impact the
performance of the speaker. Larger enclosures will provide flatter response and deeper bass where
smaller boxes will provide a bump in the response curve and generally higher output for greater
SPL.
Advantages of sealed enclosures:
• Small enclosures
• Linear (Flat) response
• No port noise
• High power handling at all
frequencies
• Excellent for sound quality
