WARNING: Care must be taken not to insert the port bungs too far into the port, as this may result

in the foam bung being lost inside the cabinet.

(refer to the suggestions on page 5).

environmental conditions. ‘Boom’ is generally caused when bass energy from the loudspeaker ‘excites’

room modes and causes an accentuation at a particular frequency, or number of frequencies.
