accommodate the use of any standard back
enclosure with a diameter of 6.8-inches or
greater and a depth of at least 4.5 inches.
Larger back volumes will increase the low-
frequency output. The frequency response of
a 407-8A in a typical 0.5-cubic-foot back en-
closure is shown in Figure 1.
Mounting
The 407-8A may be front or rear mounted
against either surface of its mounting flange
and requires a 145-mm (5.70-in.) diameter
cutout and a 154-mm (6.08-in.) bolt circle,
as shown in Figure 7. Normal fasteners up
to 5 mm (0.20 in.) will fit through the four
holes in the frame. The 407-8A is designed
for mounting on standard ceiling speaker
baffles.
