SUBWOOFER INSTALLATION AND WIRING DIRECTIONS  
Enclosure Materials  
Typically, 5/8” or 3/4” MDF (Medium Density Fiber Board) is best  
for most applications. 3/4” MDF is recommended.  
Enclosure Build Materials  
Connecting joints need to be glued and screwed to ensure no  
air escapes and joints do not separate under high pressure.  
Mitered and rabbit joints also help to ensure the enclosure joints  
are secure.  
Bracing  
Internal bracing is also recommended to prevent flexing and to  
strengthen the enclosure.  
Note: The volume taken up by the bracing should be added to the  
total enclosure interior volume.  
There are two common bracing methods.  
1. Corner Bracing: These help prevent the connection joints  
from separating under heavy vibration and air pressure.  
Use 1’ x 1” MDF at all interior joints  
2. Diagonal Bracing: These internal braces connect the top side  
to the bottom side as well front side to back side. This prevents  
the wood from bowing or pushing outwards.  
Use 1” x 2” with 1” surface contact that is glued and screwed.  
Wiring  
Wiring Parallel, Series or Parallel/Series will affect the final  
impedance at the amp and great care must taken to ensure the  
amp is not driven below it’s intended impedance capabilities.
