Grille Clearance:

 2.6 in. (66 mm) from the bottom of the 

mounting flange to the lowest inside surface of the grille.

Displacement: 

0.14 cu. ft. (4.0 ltrs)

Net Weight: 

45 lbs. (20.4 kg)

Mounting Hardware:

  Twelve #10 x 1.75” long clear, zinc-plated 

steel Phillips pan-head sheet metal screws (included) 

or

 twelve  

#10-32 long steel Phillips pan-head machine screws with #10-32 
T-Nuts, each at least 1/2-inch (12.5 mm) longer than the thickness  
of the mounting baffle (not included). 

Unpacking/Mounting: 

Please refer to the “How to: Mount a W7AE 

Subwoofer ” on pages 4 & 5 for detailed, step-by-step instructions.

PORTED ENCLOSURE:

Recommended Net Volume:

 1.75 cu. ft. (51.54 ltrs.)

Recommended Port Tuning:

 36.7 Hz

Port Type:

 “Slot” ports are recommended. See information above.  

The port recommendations listed above are derived through actual tests and 
measurements (not computer simulations). 

Front Baffle Thickness:

 1 in. (25 mm) 

Wall Thickness:

 0.75 in. (19 mm)

Net volumes given below do not include the air volume displaced by the speaker 

(Driver Displacement). This value must be added to the net volume along with the 

displacement of any braces and/or ports (if applicable) to arrive at a gross internal 

volume.  Air inside a port is not part of the effective net volume. Calculate ports as 

solid, not hollow objects.

The dimensions given for the enclosure examples below take all applicable 

displacements into consideration.

SEALED ENCLOSURE:

Recommended Net Volume:

 1.375 cu. ft. (38.94 ltrs.)

Fc:

 44.7 Hz     

F3:

 40.4 Hz     

Qtc:

 0.791

Front Baffle Thickness:

 1 in. (25 mm) 

Wall Thickness:

 0.75 in. (19 mm)

SAFETY NOTICE!

It is absolutely essential that the completed subwoofer enclosure 
is mounted firmly to the vehicle with heavy steel bolts (1/2 inch 
diameter) and large steel washers on both sides of the bolts. This 
will reduce the likelihood of occupant injury in the event of a 
collision or sudden deceleration.
