To
ensure your sub-woofer
installation
results in
the
highest possible
performance,
please
carefully
note the following information
The
R1
subwoofers
are
designed
to
be
extremely
flexible
and
are
able
to
work
in a
variety
of
enclosures,
including
no
enclosure
at
all. This is
referred
to
as an
'infinite
baffle'
or
'free-air'
installation.
In
an
infinite
baffle
configuration,
the
key
to
good
sound
is
ensuring
the
sound
wave
coming
from
the
front
of
the
speaker
cone
is
acoustically
isolated
from
the
sound
wave
coming
from
the
rear
of
the
cone.
In
other
words,
if
your
chosen
mounting
location
is
located
near
a
vent.
door,
or
any
permanent
opening
allowing
the
free
movement
of
air
from
the
inside
(rear
of
the
cone)
to
the
outside
(front
of
the
cone),
you
will
likely
experience
poor
output
as
the
low-frequency
sound
waves
run
into
each
other
and
cancel
each
other
out.
If
you
do
not
have
a
location
that
allows
for
good
isolation
of
the
front
and
rear
sound
waves,
we
recommend
installing
your
R1
subwoofer
in
the
largest
sealed
enclosure
that
is
practical
to
fit
in
your
chosen
installation
location.
However,
a
ported
enclosure
will
allow
for
greater
output,
on
average
offering
a +3dB
increase
over
a
sealed
enclosure,
with
the
tradeoff
being
that
the
enclosure
is
more
complex
to
design
and
build.
If
you
wish
to
build
a
ported
enclosure,
see
the
table
on
the
next
page
for
some
recommended
enclosure
configurations.
