NVX VC-SERIES
The enclosure designs listed
will give you the best possible
performance from your N-Series
subwoofer.
PORTED BOX
Ported boxes are the enclosure type we recommend for
optimum performance of your VC-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 efciency and low frequency response. These
enclosures are somewhat larger than the sealed alternative.
SEALED BOXES
A sealed enclosure offers improved acoustic suspension and
cone control, which reduces distortion. They are smaller than
their ported counterparts, and offer atter bass response with
more consistency across the frequency range.
