Recommended Enclosures
- This manual offers you two separate types of enclosures, sealed and ported. These two types of enclosures will give you different types of performance to better suit your application.
- When building a sealed or ported enclosure, the most important thing to remember is that the enclosure should be airtight. You can seal all the seams with glue or any type of sealant. This should prevent any air leaks. The seams should also be nailed with finishing nails to add extra durability. We recommend you use 3/4 inch MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) when building any enclosure.
- Remember to account for all sources of volume displacements (i.e. speaker, braces and/ or ports) when calculating box size.
Calculating Enclosure Volume
Height x Width x Depth (internal dimensions in inches)
- 1728 = Volume in cubic feet.

| Ported Enclosure | SPL-1000 | SPL-1200 | SPL-1500 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPL (cu.ft) | .75 | 1 | 2 |
| Port (inches) | 4 x 25.3 | 4 x 20.4 | Two-4 x 19.6 |

You can create an impedance load to best suit your application. You can choose to run your system in series, parallel or series-parallel to achieve the load that is suitable for your amplifier. Below is a diagram to show you different types of loads.
