Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss.  This high-performance 

speaker can exceed this level. Please exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity.

When installing a subwoofer in your vehicle, it is extremely important to secure the enclosure firmly.  We recommend 

bolting the enclosure through the metal of the floorpan or the frame of the vehicle with large diameter washers 

for reinforcement. If an enclosure is not firmly attached, it can become a projectile in a collision. This is particularly 

important in a hatchback, station wagon, sports utility vehicle, or van.

•  The enclosure recommendations listed are 

external

 

dimensions which assume the use of 

3/4" (19mm)

 

thick material. If you are using 

5/8" (16mm)

 thick 

material, subtract 

1/4" (6.5mm) 

from each dimension. 

Do not use any material with a thickness of less than 

5/8" (16mm)

 as this may compromise the rigidity of 

the enclosure.

•  

Enclosure volumes listed are net internal volumes!

 

Box volume displacement, port displacement and 
brace displacement must be added to obtain the 
final gross internal volume. All enclosure dimensions 
listed have already taken this into account.

•   When  using 

two

 subwoofers in a common 

enclosure simply 

double

 the required volume.

•  We recommend the use of this speaker in a 

bi-amplified 

system

 using high-quality satellite speakers and 

amplifiers. We do not recommend the use of this 
subwoofer with a 

passive crossover (coil)

, as this type of 

device will adversely affect performance.
