  • Our specifications for the net volume of sealed enclosures always refer to unfilled cabinets without any damping material inside. The net volumes can be reduced if the cabinet will be filled completely (not stuffed) with suitable materials. The following materials can be used for this purpose:
  • Note: Damping of vented enclosure (as long as they are solely used in the frequency range up to 150 Hz) is counterproductive because the damping material generally reduces the effectiveness of the bassreflex port.

Fitment and compatibility

Match the mounting measurements, impedance and amplifier requirements before installation. Speaker diameter alone does not confirm vehicle fitment.
