Enclosure recommendations are given for enclosures with and without damping material as a
filler. Use of filler will yield the smallest enclosure size. If you are building with transparent pan-
els, you will probably not want to use any filler material, so use the "no-filler" enclosure rec-
ommendations. For sealed enclosures, or the sealed portion of a bandpass enclosure, the
design recommendations assume fiberglass or polyester damping material installed at a den-
sity of 12oz. per cubic foot. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you place a piece of reasonably fine-
textured cloth between the back of the driver and the filler material. A piece of grill cloth will
work. This will prevent any of the fibers from the filler material from becoming lodged in the
voice coil.
All vented enclosures, sealed enclosures with transparent sides, and the vented chambers of
bandpass enclosures should have all non-transparent cabinet walls lined with 1" thick foam
damping material.
The terminals used on the 310px will accept up to AWG#8 speaker cable. We recommend
using AWG #12 OFC copper wire to connect the 310px to the amplifier.
For the best contact:
• Do not tin the wire before inserting it into the terminal.
• Do not use any pins or other terminations.
• Do strip the wire approximately 1/2" and insert it into the terminal. The wire will
conform to the inside of the terminal to provide the best contact surface.
