ENCLOSURE INFORMATION
Phoenix Gold subwoofers are over engineered and overbuilt in virtually every way conceivable. It is important
that the subwoofer’s enclosure is built to these same exacting standards. The enclosure must be constructed of
at least .75 inch MDF. Screws or air staples are excellent construction fasteners when used with a strong bonding
“yellow” wood working glue that can ll joint gaps. Be sure that the enclosure’s panels are airtight at all joining
seams. Lining the walls with a polyester matting 1 to 3 inches thick is sufcient. RX2 subwoofers have vented
pole pieces, we recommend leaving a minimum of 0.5” clearance behind the subwoofer to allow proper air
movement and cooling of the voicecoil.
Your PG dealer has extensive knowledge, tools and the experience needed for the design and construction
necessary for your subwoofer application. We also recommend you consult with your dealer for specic technical
assistance related to your installation. The charts provided should be used as a reference when building an
enclosure for your subwoofer. The charts contain several enclosure types. The Sound Quality enclosure provides
deeper, tighter, and more musical output to truly reproduce the original source material. The SPL enclosure ts
the “basshead’s” need for maximum output while sacricing some sound quality.
* For SQ vented enclosures a subsonic lter set at 25Hz is highly recommended.
