SUBWOOFER OWNER’S MANUAL
3
ENCLOSURE INFORMATION
The RSd subwoofers are over engineered and overbuilt in virtually every
way conceivable. Its very important that the enclosure is built to these
same exacting standards. The enclosure must be comprised of at least .75
inch MDF. Screws or air staples are excellent construction fasteners when
used with a strong bonding “yellow” wood working glue that can fill joint
gaps. Be sure that the enclosure’s panels are airtight at all joining seams.
Lining the walls with a polyester matting 1 to 3 inches thick is sufficient.
Your PG dealer has extensive knowledge, tools and the experience
needed for the design and construction necessary for your RSd subwoofer
application. We also recommend you consult with your dealer for specific
technical assistance related to your installation.
The charts provided should be used as a reference when building an
enclosure for your RSd subwoofer. The charts contain several enclosure
types. The Sound Quality enclosure provides deeper, tighter, and more
musical output to truly reproduce the original source material. The
SPL enclosure fits the basshead’s need for maximum output while
sacrificing some sound quality.
