The cardboard support inside your Solo-Baric’s shipping carton can be used as a template
for cutting the speaker mounting hole in the enclosure you build. Since the cardboard cut-
out is the same size as the basket of the L5, when you make the cut along the line drawn
through the template, make sure to cut right on the line to get the correct opening size.
All the cubic feet numbers given in the following pages include the displacement of the
woofer. For the ported boxes the displacement of the port must be added to the final
design. It will be impractical to use round ports for these designs. The rectangular port
information given will yield the best results.
Always use 3/4" or thicker MDF and make sure all the
joints are secure and well sealed. The peak pressure in a
ported box can exceed that of a sealed enclosure.
All of these designs need some internal bracing. Be sure
to add 2"x 2"(5.08cm x 5.08cm) to 3"x 3"(7.62cm x 7.62cm)
triangle braces between each of the larger unsupported
panels. Kicker recommends using a good grade of wood
glue and silicone sealer for an airtight box.
Note: If you prefer an ultra-smooth bass response, you
should loosely fill your Solo-Baric Enclosure with polyfil.
Ported designs will require covering the entrance to the
port (inside the box) with hardware cloth, chicken wire, or
expanded metal to prevent the polyfil from being blown
out through the port. Use of polyfil will slightly decrease
efficiency, but will deepen and extend low bass response.
Do not install a ported box with the port against a solid
surface. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use the smallest dimension of the
rectangular port as the minimum amount of space required between the port and any
surface to insure unrestricted airflow.
