Enclosure Recommendations

www.SOUNDSTREAM.com

Included in this manual are a number of different enclosure sugges-

tions. These are by no means the only enclosures to use, but they

provide a starting point to determine the correct enclosure for your

needs many factors must be addressed (amount of power, vehicle,

placement, crossovers, etc) Therefore, as always, SOUNDSTREAM

recommends that your subwoofer be installed by an authorized

SOUNDSTREAM dealer.

All enclosures should be made of .75” (3/4”) material only. When pos-

sible, make the baffle 1.5” (1 ½) thick and add .75” (3/4”) to the depth

of the enclosure to compensate. All volumes INCLUDE vent/port and

subwoofer displacements. DO NOT change the volume unless you

plan on adding a substantial amount of bracing. For added per-

formance, applying a coat of fiberglass resin to the interior walls will

greatly improve sealing the enclosure. Adding a thin layer of poly-fill

will improve response by smoothing out reflections within the enclo-

sure.
