Specifications & 

Parameters

† Typically, in-car response including vehicular “cabin gain”, or the gain expected 

with midbass installed in the vehicle, will result in an extended midbass and 

upper subbass response. This is a result of these frequencies being below the 

lowest resonance in the vehicle (typically around 50-125 Hz in most vehicles, 

described in more detail on 

pages 30 and 31

). In more practical terms, install 

the Clarus midbass into your vehicle and you will see a dramatic improvement 

in midbass and upper subbass output, much more so than just simply listening 

to the Clarus in a large room, or worse yet, “free air” (we don’t recommend even 

trying the Clarus speakers in “free air” without some form of enclosure or infinite 

baffle for the midbass).

Thiele/Small Parameter Discussion for Clarus Midbass 

Speakers

The mechanical and electrical parameters of the Clarus midbass speakers 

are amenable to a variety of different installations and speaker locations. 

The high Qms (Q factor of mechanical system) and Qts (Q factor of total 

system), coupled with the driver’s Fs (resonance frequency) allow it to be 

used in an “infinite baffle” configuration. In more practical terms, install 

the Clarus midbass such that the front and back waves don’t “meet” (as 

detailed in Section I – Getting Started - Basic System Installation), including 

in a door or kick panel, or in the case of a motorcycle, in the fairing (using 

only the airspace behind the speaker as a pseudo enclosure), with no 

need for a real enclosure or “box.” The design goes hand in hand with 

fool-proof, high-end sound quality with minimal work.  For more advanced 

users, please reference the Thiele/Small Parameters for the Clarus-series 

midbass drivers.
