If you’re planning to build your own enclosure and are confused
in what type of enclosure best suits your needs this page will
help you choose what enclosure best fits your needs. There are
many different types of enclosures. The two most common used
enclosures are sealed and vented enclosure. This page will show
the advantages and disadvantages of the two enclosures.
ADVANTAGES OF A SEALED ENCLOSURES
•High power handing capability
•Great transient response
•Tolerant of minor enclosure size variation
•Easy to construct
•Smooth roll off (12dB/octave)
DISADVANTAGES OF A SEALED ENCLOSURES
•Requires a woofer with a long excursion for better low bass
frequency response.
•Can have lower sensitivity than ported enclosures.
•When using high power and small enclosures, the woofer is not in an ideal
cooling environment.
•Lower bass as compared to a properly tuned vented enclosure
above the ported tuning frequency.
ADVANTAGES OF A VENTED ENCLOSURE
•Increased output around vented tuning
•Higher power handling above the port tuning frequency
•Extended frequency response
•Magnet is in a good cooling environment
•Handles higher bass frequencies with less distortion
DISADVANTAGES OF A VENTED ENCLOSURE
•Vented enclosure transient response is not as good as sealed
boxes because of the resonant effect of the vent tuning
•Midrange sound coming from inside the enclosure through the vent
can produce unpleasant sound coloration.
•Loss of cone movement control below vent tuning, which can re
sult in high distortion and mechanical failure of the driver.
•Lower power handling below the port tuning frequency

ENCLOSURE DETAILS
ENCLOSURE DERTAILS
1. Parameters listed are for conventional applications only, for further help
please call Sound Pros Tech Support.
2. At least 0.75” MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is recommended for any
XTR enclosure.
3. Recommended enclosures are NET box volumes, speaker and port
displacement are calculated into the volume of the enclosure, you will need
to add these volumes to calculate GROSS volume for the enclosure.
NOTES
* Due to the high power capabilities and long excursion of the XTR woofers,
the Thiele/Small Parameters were calculated and measured using Klippel
analyzer system.
** Energy Bandwidth Product (EBP) is determined by the following formula Fs/
Qes=EBP. EBP values of 50 and lower suggest a sealed enclosure is best, 50 to
90 means the subwoofer versatile and 90 and above mean vented Enclosure is
recommended.
*** Subsonic lter should always be used and adjusted specically for vented
box designs.

WARNING & DISCLAIMER
19
Investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly before drilling
or cutting. Take care when you work near the gas tank, gas lines,
hydraulic lines, electrical components and electrical wiring. Do
not use the equipment unmounted. Attach this system securely
to prevent damage, particularly in the event of an accident
or aggressive driving. Do not mount the system so that wire
connections are unprotected or are subjected to pinching or
damage from nearby objects. Before connecting or disconnecting
power connections at the system power terminals, disconnect the
+12V DC wire at the battery end. Confirm that your source unit
and other equipment are turned off while connecting the input
terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only
with a fuse identical to the amperage recommended. Using a fuse
of different type or rating may result in damage to the system,
which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not
install any product where it may be subjected to excessive heat,
moisture and dust or where it may be repeatedly kicked, brushed or
bumped. Make absolutely sure that the terminals for the products
are connected to the proper inputs and outputs from the music
source. Never run the wiring on the outside of the vehicle or under
it where it can be damaged by road hazards or any moving parts of
the vehicle. Use existing wire channels, sills, panels and molding
strips inside the vehicle to hide the wiring for safety and a neat
appearance.
DISCLAIMER
IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral part of the
vehicle’s safety or structural support system. If you are unsure, it is
best to have the product professionally installed by an Authorized
ORION Dealer. Never sacrifice your safety for sound.
