Enclosure Designs  
Sealed Enclosure  
Sealed Enclosure Explanation  
A sealed enclosure is the best option if sound quality is of primary concern. It will offer the best  
overall response across the low frequency audio spectrum, great transient response, and will allow for  
the most seamless integration between the subwoofer system and front speakers. It is also half the  
size of the sound quality ported design minimizing the space that needs to be dedicated to the  
subwoofer enclosure.

Sound Quality Ported Enclosure  
Sound Quality Ported Enclosure Explanation  
The use of low tuning allows the SPG555 to deliver much stronger low bass energy when compared  
to the sealed enclosure. Use of a smaller volume combined with low tuning allows the ported sound  
quality enclosure to produce a relatively flat response down to 30Hz while delivering solid impact at  
high output levels.

High Output Ported Enclosure  
High Output Ported Enclosure Explanation  
As the name suggests, the high output ported enclosure will play the loudest of the three designs. Its  
large internal volume combined with large port area delivers great efficiency for very high output. Tuning  
is higher than the Sound quality enclosure bringing the peak efficiency point of the enclosure much  
closer to average vehicle resonance but is still tuned low enough for good musical reproduction.

RVC (Removable Voice Coil)  
Removable Voice Coil  
The SPG555 is the first woofer ever that allows the voice coil to be exchanged without having to  
remove the woofer from the enclosure. This unique feature allows you to change the impedance of  
the woofer or repair a damaged voice coil, not just easily, but quickly.  
Removing The RVC  
1) The RVC is held in place with six screws. Using the provided tool (2.5mm allen hex), remove the six  
screws around the outside of the RVC.  
2) Once the screws are removed, pull up on the handle and the RVCwill slide out .  
Note: If the previous RVCwas damaged, make sure that the gap is clear of all debris before installing the new RVC.  
Installing The RVC  
Installing The Handle  
1) Install the new gasket (provided) on to the RVC1) The handle is held in place by two screws  
(included in the handle bag). The handle can be  
.  
positioned on one of eight different ways .  
2) Align the notches on the RVCwith the insets on  
2) Line up the handle with two of the six screw  
holes on the RVC. Using the provided 2.5mm  
tool, hand tighten the screws . The specific  
orientation of the handle will not effect per-  
formance, however, to ensure proper tuning,  
must be installed prior to using the SPG555.  
the SPG555 cone (the RVC is keyed for proper  
orientation and will not seat flush or seal into the  
cone if the RVCis not properly positioned).  
3) Once the RVCis seated to the cone, hand tighten  
the six screws , do not over-tighten the screws.  
Warning: Choose the position of the handle wisely.  
Installing the screws into the RVCwill mar the area around  
where the screw is installed. Although not visible with the  
handle installed in the original position, if the handle is  
moved, you will be able to see the enlarged screw holes  
from the previous install position.

spider built into one frame. In the event that the cone, surround, or spider becomes damaged, it is  
easily swapped out with a new one. Also, If the basket of the SPG555 is going to be visible, the SPS™  
can be removed allowing for painting, plating, or powder coating of the chassis.  
SPS Removal Instructions

2) Remove the mounting gasket from the SPG555.  
3) Remove the RVCfrom the SPS(see previous page for removal instructions).  
4) Remove the 8 short screws that secure the top of the SPSto the basket .  
5) Remove the 6 long screws that secure the bottom of the SPS to the basket .  
6) With all 14 screws removed, the SPS will slide out.  
SPS Installation Instructions  
1) Place the SPSin the basket making sure that the terminals are positioned on the correct side, the  
SPSuses a peg to assure proper alignment and will not properly seat if installed backwards.  
2) Hand tighten the 8 short screws that secure the top of the SPSto the basket .  
3) Hand tighten the 6 long screws that secure the bottom of the SPSto the basket .  
4) Install the RVCinto the SPS(see previous page for installation instructions).
