RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES FOR OA8, OA10D & OA12D
VENTED ENCLOSURE
Subwoofer Volume (liters/ft3) Port Damping F3 Fb
OA8 15 / 0,53 3” x 44 cm / 17” *** Line inside 45,1 Hz
OA10D 29 / 1,02 3” x 28 cm/11” Line inside 34,7 Hz 35,0 Hz
OA12D use sealed enclosure
*** It is impossible to have a 44 cm port inside a 15 liter enclosure! If you want to use the vented box just cut the
port tube 2,5 cm / 1” from the back wall for a good function. Doing so the subwoofer sees the port to be longer than
it is because the short distance between port and back wall has an influence on the air flow through the port.

The speaker is installed in Vb1
playing into chamber Vb2 where
the port(s) are installed.
F3 = approximative lower frequency for
vented boxes in Hz. Often called F-3 dB point
= the point where the power is 50% lower.
Fb = Box resonant frequency
OA8, OA10D & OA12D
subwoofers are designed for
open air use but can also be
used in these enclosures.
