Enclosure Size (Matters)
Enclosure is the fancy name for a speaker box. You can go ready-made or build your own. Ported or Sealed. To the right are the recommended enclosure size ranges stated in internal volume. Whether buying pre-made or building, try to stay within these parameters for best performance.
| Recommended Sealed Internal Volume | 1.40-2.25 cu.ft. |
|---|---|
| Recommended Vented internal Volume w/o vent displacement | 1.3-3.0 cu.ft. |
| Recommended Vented Area | 23 cu.in. |
| Recommended Tuning Frequency | 30-38 Hz |
Enclosure Example
If you’re going it on your own, here’s a good starting point. We recommend using .75” MDF or plywood. Screws or air staples along with strong bonding “yellow” wood working glue for construction. Be sure that the enclosure’s panels are airtight at all joining seams. Lining the inside with some poly- fill to finish it off.

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams
DC2 Subwoofers are Dual Voice Coil (DVC), meaning they have two positive and negative terminals per speaker. The voice coils can be wired in parallel or series or a combination of both. The subwoofer should be wired to match the amplifier’s lowest impedance as stated by the amplifier manufacturer. Going below the amplifier’s minimum impedance may damage the amplifier, so wire carefully. For wiring subwoofers, we recommend using 12- to 16-gauge wire.
