CutoutDimensions
The Solo-Baric generates more sound pressure than an equivalently-sized round speaker and excels
when used
in the recommended sealed boxes. These sealed enclosure designs give the smoothest
response with increased energy at the lowest frequencies, 20
to 30Hz. These designs deliver massive
amounts of highly-accurate bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifier power.

Sea/edEnclosureApplications
The Solo-Baric high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure. This
maximum enclosure volume application
is ideal for SO (ultra sound quality) installations. The SO
enclosure generates a very flat response curve and superbly extends the subbass response.
Solo-Baric woofers perform well
in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SO volume
recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefits of both designs: Compact produces high-impact
bass, and SO generates low bass frequency protraction. Overall, the system will sound more like the
recommended enclosure design
it is closest to in enclosure volume. These enclosure recommendations
have been calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure and include the displacement of the woofer.
All sealed-enclosure airspace should be filled to 50% loose poly-fil (polyester fiberfill) stuffing. Do not
make the airspace greater than the
SO, maximum enclosure volume, recommendation.
