ENCLOSURES

The enclosure designs listed will give you the best possible performance from your Y-Series subwoofer.

PORTED BOX
Ported boxes are the enclosure type we recommend for optimum performance of your Y-Series Subwoofer.

A ported box features a vent or port to couple the woofer’s back-wave with the front-wave. This results in markedly improved efficiency and low frequency response. These enclosures are somewhat larger than the sealed alternative.

Y-SERIES V1| YSW102| YSW104| YSW122| YSW124| YSW152| YSW154
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Volume (net int.)| 1.50 cu. ft| 1.50 cu. ft.| 1.85 cu. Ft| 1.85 cu. Ft| 3.5 cu. Ft.| 3.5 cu. Ft
Tuning Frequency| 34 Hz| 36 Hz| 32 Hz| 32 Hz| 33 Hz| 33 Hz
F3 (Hz)| 32 Hz| 33 Hz| 29 Hz| 29 Hz| 32 Hz| 32 Hz
Port Area (in2 )| 17.5| 17.5| 21| 21| 26.25| 26.25
Port Length (in)| 23.5| 23.5| 25.85| 25.85| 14.1| 14.1

SEALED BOXES
A sealed enclosure offers improved acoustic suspension and cone control, which reduces distortion. They are smaller than their ported counterparts, and offer flatter bass response with more concisely across the frequency range.
