Ported Solo-Barics? Absolutely
...
and with a vengeance! These enclosures incorporate massive slot-
loaded (rectangular) ports with ultra low air velocity for ground pounding street bass that will make your
"skin bounce on your bones!" These boxes
are
the enclosure of choice for outrageous street bass and
high performance SPL contests.
If
space
is
not a problem and you want to get the most from your
Solo-Baric, try one
of
these ported designs.
You
will not be disappointed.

Model:
The ported Compact design increases bass efficiency and fits
in
many space-limited applications.
Although
it
is
the smallest recommended ported enclosure, the output from 30 to 80 Hz will be
considerably higher than that
of
any sealed box. The SPL / Deep Bass ported design has even more
output
in
this crucial frequency band.
The SPL / Deep Bass
is
the largest and most efficient enclosure design. The SPL / Deep Bass delivers
the sonic output needed
to
win SPL contests and
it
produces bass notes
"all
the way down to the
• cella". This design turns heads and jump starts your heart.

BoxBuildingNotes
Use 3/4" (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the
"template" inside your Solo-Baric's shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the
line.
These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger
unsupported panels. See Figure
5.
All
the cubic feet
(L)
measurements
in
this manual include the displacement
of
the woofer. For the
vented enclosures the displacement
of
the port must be calculated and added to the internal volume
of
the final design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and multiply
"X
x Y x Z", convert to cubic feet, for
example the S12L7 vented compact design's external port dimensions are, using 3/4" (1.9cm) MDF:
[ (13.25"
+ 1.5" total MDF wall thickness) x (2.5" + 1.5" total MDF wall thickness) x 22.5"] x
(1
ft3/
1728
in
3
)
= .77 ft3, and add this number to the internal volume
of
the enclosure, S12L7's 1.75 ft3 + .77 ft3 =
2.52 ft3. See Figure
6.
Due
to
the necessary length of these ports, you may want to fold the port along
the bottom and back walls.
It
will be impractical
to
use round ports for these designs.
Do not install a port opening against a solid surface, such as
an
internal brace, back-panel or trunk wall,
seat or interior panel
of
your vehicle. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use the smallest
dimension
of
the rectangular port
as
the minimum amount
of
space between the port opening and any
solid surface to insure unrestricted airflow.
