BOX BUILDING NOTES
Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fi berboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the “template” inside your CompQ’s shipping carton to mark the
mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. See Figure 1.
These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger unsupported panels. See Figure 2.
VENTED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
These boxes are the enclosure of choice for outrageous bass, so if space is not a problem and you want to get the most from your CompQ, try one of these vented
designs. CompQ 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 vented minimum design increases bass effi ciency and fi ts in many space-limited applications. Although it is the smallest recommended vented enclosure, the output
from 30Hz–80Hz will be considerably higher than that of a sealed box. The maximum vented design has even more output in this frequency band. The maximum vented
enclosure is the largest and most effi cient design.
