Frequently asked questions

What type of stuffing should be used for sealed enclosures?

All sealed-enclosure airspace should be filled to 50% loose poly-fil polyester fiberfill stuffing.

How do I check if the subwoofer is out of phase?

Check the system phasing by reversing the positive and negative speaker connections; if bass improves, it was previously out of phase.

What material is recommended for building the enclosure?

The manual recommends using 3/4" (1.9cm) or thicker MDF and sealing joints with silicone.
