Enclosures
SEALED Enclosure recommendations
ENCLOSURE INFORMATION
Phoenix Gold subwoofers are 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 for 10 and 12 inch subwoofers or .625 MDF for 8 inch subwoofers. 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.
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.
The normal enclosure is a balance between SPL and SQ.
INFORMATIONS SUR L’ENCEINTE
Les caissons d’extrêmes graves sont fabriqués en fonction de normes rigoureuses an de fournir des années de plaisir acoustique. Il est important que
l’enceinte du caisson des extrêmes graves soit construite en fonction de ces mêmes normes rigoureuses. L’enceinte doit comprendre au moins un RP d’au
moins 3/4” de pouces. Les vis ou agrafeuses pneumatiques constituent d’excellentes pièces de xation lorsqu’elles sont utilisées avec une colle forte de
couleur «jaune » pour le travail du bois qui peut combler les écarts de jointures. Assurez-vous que les panneaux de l’enceinte soient étanches au niveau de
toutes les piqûres de liaison. Le revêtement des murs à l’aide d’une natte en polyester épaisse de 1 à 3 pouces suft.
Votre concessionnaire PG dispose de grandes connaissances, d’outils et d’expérience requise pour la conception et la constructions de votre application
de caisson d’extrêmes graves. Nous recommandons également de consulter votre concessionnaire an d’obtenir une assistance technique spécique se
rapportant à votre installation. Les tableaux fournis devraient être utilisés comme référence au moment de construire une enceinte pour votre caisson aux
extrêmes graves PG. Les tableaux présentent plusieurs types d’enceinte. L’enceinte de Qualité du son offre une sortie de musique qui est plus profonde, plus
serrée et davantage de sortie sonore an de reproduire véritablement le matériau source d’origine. L’enceinte SPL satisfait le besoin en «basshead» pour une
sortie maximale tout en sacriant un peu de la qualité du son.

SPL = More overall output and compact enclosure size, but sacrices some low bass and smooth overall output
Normal = Recommended for most listeners. Excellent blend of low bass, accurate and strong overall output
SQ = Smooth and exceptional low bass output, but larger enclosure size and sacrices some overall output
Additional Notes:
- For vented enclosures a subsonic lter set at 30Hz to 40Hz is highly recommended.
- Sealed enclosure volumes INCLUDE THE DISPLACEMENT of the subwoofer.
- Vented enclosure volumes INCLUDE THE DISPLACEMENT of the subwoofer. But DO NOT include displacement of the vent.
- In many cases, a 4 inch round (3 or 2 inch for SX18s4) vent/port can be used instead of a rectangle/slot vent. This can reduce
the vent length and simply the enclosure construction. However, in some rare cases at high power a small amount of port noise
maybe audible. The provided slot/rectangle ports will provide maximum performance and the most predictable results. Contact
technical support for additional enclosure options.
