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 efficiency and fits
in
many space-limited applications Although it
is
the smallest recommended vented enclosure, the output
from 30Hz-80Hz will be con_siderably 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 tnost efficient design.

BOX BUILDING NOTES
Use 3/4" (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) 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
~he
larger unsupported panels. See Figure 2.
