Owner's Manual
The
Solo-Baric
generates more sound pressure
than
an
equivalently-sized round speaker and
excels
when used
in
the recommended
sealed
boxes. These
sealed enclosure
designs give
the smoothest response with increased energy
at the
lowest
frequencies,
20
to
30Hz.
These
designs
deliver
massive amounts of
highly-
accurate bass and can be driven with punishing
levels
of
amplifier
power.
The
Solo-Baric
high performance suspension
system can operate
in
a
larger sealed
enclosure.
This maximum
enclosure volume
application
is
ideal
for
SO (ultra
sound quality)
installations.
The
SO enclosure
generates a
very flat
response curve and
superbly
extends
the sub-bass response.

.,
Solo-Baric woofers perform
well
in
any size
sealed enclosure
between the Compact and
SO volume
recommendations. These systems
will
exhibit benefits of both designs: Compact produces high-impact
bass, and
SO
generates
low
bass frequency protraction.
Overall,
the system
will
sound more
like
the
recommended enclosure
design
it
is
closest
to
in
enclosure volume.
These
enclosure
recommendations
have been calculated
with the airspace inside the
enclosure and
include the displacement
of the woofer.
All
sealed-enclosure
airspace
should
be filled
to
50% loose poly-fil (polyester fiberfill) stuffing. Do not make
the airspace greater than the
SO,
maximum
enclosure volume,
recommendation.
VENTED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
These boxes are the
enclosure
of choice for outrageous street bass and high performance SPL contests.
If
space
is
not a
problem
and you want to get the most from your Solo-Baric
L7,
try one of these ported
designs.
You
will
not be disappointed.
Solo-Baric
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 ported Compact design increases bass efficiency and fits
in
many
space-limited applications.
Although
it
is
the smallest recommended ported enclosure,
the output from
30
to
80Hz
will be
considerably
higher than that of any
sealed
box. The SPL
I
Deep Bass ported design has even more
output
in
this
crucial
frequency band. The SPL
I
Deep Bass
is
the
largest
and most efficient
enclosure
design.
