SEALED
ENCLOSURE
APPLICATIONS
CompVT woofers perform
well
in
any size
sealed enclosure between the minimum and maximum
volume
recommendations. These systems
will exhibit benefits of both designs: Minimum produces
high-impact bass, and maximum 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 maximum
enclosure
volume recommendation.

To
make the most efficient use of space when
building the
Sealed
Minimum
enclosure
for your CompVT
subwoofer, you must use the included clearance plate. The
clearance plate allows
the CompVT
subwoofer to sit recessed within the back
panel
of
the subwoofer box to minimize the
enclosure's
depth. The
clearance plate must
seal tightly.
First, use a
plunging
router, straight-cut bit, and a
circle
jig
to create a 1
/16"
(2mm) deep recess with an outer diameter of 6 1
/2" (16. 7 em) and an inner diameter
of approximately 5"
(12.7cm). Center the recess behind the subwoofer on the back panel. Then, cut
a
5 1
/4" (13.3cm) diameter
hole
in
the center of the recess
all
the way through the back panel. Using
the
clearance plate
as a reference,
drill the six screw
holes
with a
#29
(0.
136",
3.5mm)
drill
bit. Next,
countersink each screw
hole
using a
1
/4" (6mm) drill or countersinking bit so the
clearance plate
will
fit
tightly
against the
back
panel.
Remove the paper backing from the foam gasket and adhere
it
to the inside
of the
clearance plate.
Then, fasten the
clearance plate
to the box with six #8 screws.
See
Figure 3.
