If
you prefer
an
ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely
fill
your Solo-Baric enclosure with
poly-fil stuffing. Ported designs will require covering the end of the port (located inside the box) with grill
cloth, chicken wire, or expanded metal to prevent the poly-fil from exiting the port. The use of poly-fil
will slightly decrease efficiency, but will deepen and extend the low frequency output.

A Note on PowerHandlingCapacity
Solo-Baric subwoofers will handle massive amounts of power
in
any of the recommended enclosures,
minimum or maximum. The smaller enclosures are best for use
in
limited-space applications.
The larger recommended enclosures
will
yield slightly more bass at the lowest frequencies.
The listed Power Handling capacities assume that both voice coils are
in
use.
Always connect both coils
in
a dual voice-coil speaker.
Note: The use
of
a subsonic filter will significantly increase the
power
handling.
The
power
handling specifications
in
these charts are calculated using a 25Hz,
24dB
per octave subsonic filter.
