RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES

Please note that these enclosure volume recommendations are for the internal airspace inside the enclo-

sure and include the displacement of the subwoofer and ports. When choosing your enclosure type, please 

pay close attention to your specific woofer, failing to use the correct enclosure may result in lower power 

handling and poor sound quality. 

  To calculate the internal airspace required, take the internal 

dimensions of the box. First multiple these number by themselves and then divide this sum by 

1728.  (W x H x D) / 1728.

 Please contact your authorized PowerBass Autsound dealer for other designs 

and specifications. 

(Even though these subwoofers can be used in a ported enclosure, PowerBass 

recommends a sealed enclosure for optimum performance and sound quality.)
