SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS for the new PC units were strategically balanced so that low resonant frequencies could be achieved along with high sound pressure levels. Cone mass is held to a minimum for high efficiency yet its Acrylic Resin Laminate (ARL) design yields tremendous rigidity.
SYSTEM PLANNING : : I! If, ::_ The largest possible impact on any audio system (home or car) is the quality of loudspeakers used and their placement. EFFICIENCY defines how loud a speaker will play for a given input power and is often quoted at 1 watt input and meas at a 1 meter distance.
ACTIVE CROSSOVER SYSTEM OUTPUT RADIO ACTIVE CROSSOVE FREQUENCY Inductor Value 6 dBlOctave PASSIVE CROSSOVER 12 dBlOctave Sound is created by the movement of the woofer cone back and forth. If a woofer cone moves forward creating a positive pressure wave, this same motion creates a negative pressure at the back of the woofer.

COMMON ENCLOSURE TYPES In the car audio world there are 5 types of subwoofer enclosures commonly used; INFINITE BAFFLE, SEALED BOX (closed box), VENTED BOX (bass reflex), SINGLE-VENTED (often incorrectly referred to as “7th” order). No single design is superior because each has its own compromise in performance, power handling, and design complexity.

ISOBARIC WOOFER CONFIGURATIONS Increasing in popularity in recent years is the compound woofer design, more commonly known as the “Isobaric” design. Isobaric actually means “constant pressure” which is the case having two woofers moving an encapsulated pocket of air between them in the same direction. This arrangement acts like a single speaker which effectively reduces the required box volumes for a subwoofer system by 50%...

During box construction, temporarily assemble the box to make sure all pieces line up properly. Then assemble all pieces before cutting out the holes for the woofers. Once the box is fully assembled, connect an oscillator/amplifier to the w’oofer, sweep it through 20- 100 Hz, and listen for strange air whistling noises, buzzes, and rattles.

We recommend that you have your Blaupunkt woofers professionally installed. If you choose to do your own installation please note the following important information. Before cutting any trim or steel -make sure you clear all moving parts and factory electrical lines.
