INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Wet Sounds REVO HP marine subwoofers have been specifically engineered to
produce outstanding results in both small sealed enclosures and vented
enclosures. REVO FA subwoofers are optimized for use in infinite baffle
(commonly called free air) installations.
As a rule, sealed enclosures provide better transient bass response than their vented counterparts, although the vented enclosures generally provide more deep bass. However, both enclosure types will work in any situation. Free Air works great in applications where it is difficult to install an enclosure. PLEASE NOTE: REVO Subwoofers do not come packaged with grilles, and must be purchased separately. Please visit wetsounds.com for more info.
FREE AIR
REVO FA are the only subwoofers optimized for free air use. Please do not
install any of the other woofers in free air. Free Air installations do not
need a dedicated enclosure. However, the front and the back of the woofer must
still be isolated from one another. If your boat has a solid panel under the
driver’s foot well with a large cavity behind it, this panel is ,a good
location for a REVO FA. However, if this panel is a half wall and will not
create a solid separation from front to rear, this will not be a good location
for a free air woofer. When looking for a location for a free air subwoofer,
make sure to consider that the area behind the woofer
becomes the “box”. Free Air woofers like a larger sealed area, so the larger
this cavity is, the better the results.
SEALED ENCLOSURES
This enclosure is made up of a totally closed, air-tight box. This type of
enclosure gives excellent, tight bass response, as well as providing an
effective control of loudspeaker excursion, maintaining it within reasonable
limits and generally providing lower distortion and very high volume levels.
If you build your own enclosure, WET SOUNDS recommends that you glue and screw
all joints using
enough adhesive to ensure that all joints are air-tight.
For optimal sealed enclosure specifications and dimensions, it is suggested that you visit www.wetsounds.com for complete details.
VENTED ENCLOSURES
VENTED ENCLOSURES
Vented enclosures are not air-tight and incorporate an additional opening
known as a port or vent, which is generally fabricated from either plastic or
cardboard tubing. The port augments the sound coming out of the woofer and is
in most cases capable of going lower in frequency than the same woofer in a
sealed box. Even though vented enclosures are not air-tight, you should follow
the same
procedure as with sealed boxes and glue and screw together all joints. Below
you will find drawings for a vented enclosure. In the special case of SEALED
enclosures, volumes greater or smaller than specified can be chosen, with
different results. Smaller enclosures lead to a more enhanced response and
higher power handling whereas larger ones exhibit better transient and more
extended response.
For optimal vented/ported enclosure specifications, it is suggested that you visit www.wetsounds.com for complete details.
ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION
For best performance the walls of the enclosure should be rigid and not
vibrate as a result of the internal pressures generated by the loudspeakers.
WET SOUNDS recommends constructing enclosures from a marine grade plywood like
Birch with a minimum thickness of 3/4″. In larger enclosures over 1 cubic
foot, internal bracing that joins opposite walls can be incorporated and the
final enclosure should be as rigid as possible. All joints should be glued and
fastened with screws. Additionally, internal joints can be covered with a
small bead of silicone adhesive to ensure that the enclosure is completely
air-tight. Drivers should be fastened to the enclosure with self-threading
screws with adequate length and diameter, utilizing all the mounting holes in
the frame. To avoid air leakage, a foam rubber gasket or similar sealing
method should be applied between the loudspeaker and the enclosure. The
external surface of the enclosure may be painted or fabric-covered, to suit
the consumer. Since low frequency sounds are not directional, subwoofer
enclosures can generally be placed anywhere within the boat, without
compromising stereo imaging. However, different placement locations of
subwoofer enclosures can sometimes influence the overall quality of
bass/mid-bass response, so you may wish to experiment with various mounting
locations before permanently mounting the woofer.
