FEATURES
ENCLOSURE
•Roto-Mold Construction – The use of Roto-Mold manufacturing
produces a composite enclosure with seamless construction. This greatly
increases rigidity to prevent the enclosure from flexing and allows custom
designs to be fabricated. The result is a radical, stronger, more reliable
enclosure.
•Acoustic Suspension Enclosure– The Subz enclosure uses an
acoustic suspension design (sealed) for optimum performance. The
enclosure is matched to the woofer for deep bass output while requiring
minimal operating space.
•Anti-Tip Design – The enclosure has a flat bottom to provide a solid
foundation for securing it to the vehicle and prevent it from rolling.

PUNCH WOOFER
•PVA Cone – The cone material used is a spruce pulp paper and provides
the necessary combination of weight and strength to allow high levels of
output without cone break up. The cone is also treated with a water
resistant PolyVinyl Acetate (PVA) emulsion which increases cone rigidity
and lowers distortion.
•Aluminum Voice Coil Former – The voice coil is made of multiple
layers of copper wound on a black, anodized, aluminum former. This
improves the speaker’s power handling by efficiently dissipating heat from
the voice coil.
•Hyper-Extended Pole Piece – The pole piece has been extended to
provide a more linear magnetic field for the operation of the woofer. This
lowers distortion and provides the woofer with better low frequency
response.
•Vented Bumped Back Plate – The back plate has been stepped
deeper to allow the woofer more excursion for harder hitting bass.
Additionally, the back plate is vented with a radiused aerodynamic vent that
efficiently and quietly keeps the voice coil cool.

1. INSTALL THE MOUNTING BRACKETS
Place the enclosure in the desired mounting location and position the mounting
brackets approximately 4” from each end. Push the mounting brackets as close as
possible to the enclosure without moving or lifting it. Carefully remove the enclosure
and secure the brackets using the supplied screws.
NOTE: Be careful not to mount the enclosure on cardboard or plastic panels.
Doing so may allow the screws to pull out from the panel due to road vibration or
sudden vehicle stops.
CAUTION: Before drilling, check under vehicle to avoid damage to brake
or fuel lines, etc.
2. INSTALL THE MOUNTING STRAPS
Feed each strap through the pair of mounting brackets and position the enclosure in place over the straps. Tighten each strap securely.
NOTE: Be sure the mounting straps are looped through the buckle correctly. Check the straps regularly to ensure your enclosure is securely mounted in place.
3. RUN THE SPEAKER CABLE FROM THE AMP
When routing the speaker cable from the amplifier, avoid running it close to any sources of high current (e.g.,wiring harnesses). The positive (+)
speaker output from the amp connects to the red terminal of the enclosure, and the negative (–) connects to the black terminal.
