Installation
The vibe subwoofer can be installed in a variety of different ways, the most suitable will depend upon your application.
Free-air installation
The SLICK Subwoofer can be mounted free-air, this does not mean that the woofer can work without any form of enclosure, what it
does mean is that the enclosure can be very large and therefore the subwoofer can utilise the vehicles boot as an enclosure.
The Subwoofer needs to be mounted to a rigid panel as excess vibration will result in poor sound quality, the panel or baffle, should
also seal the output from the front of the Subwoofer from the output from the rear otherwise poor sound quality known as phase
error will occur. This simply means that the output from the rear of the woofer will cancel out the output from the front resulting in a
loss of bass.
As such an enclosure in free-air applications is so large it is worth noting that the power handling of the Subwoofer is reduced to half
that of the same woofer in a measured enclosure, please take this into account when choosing your amplifier.
The sound quality of a free-air mounted subwoofer will not match that of the same subwoofer mounted in a measured enclosure
however in applications where building a traditional enclosure is impossible free-air mounting will add increased bass response to your
system.
Sealed enclosure installation
The most basic and simple of all speaker enclosures is the sealed enclosure otherwise referred to an acoustic suspension design.
They are called acoustic suspension enclosures because the air inside the box acts like a brake to control the woofer.
The sealed enclosure is the easiest design to build and tune, as long as you work within the minimum and maximum recommended
volumes you cannot get it wrong, the smaller enclosures produce a tighter punchy bass, the larger enclosures produce a deeper
bass. Sealed enclosures offer high power handling, tight response and smooth low end roll off and cone motion is better controlled at
all frequencies because of the constant pressure on the back of the woofer.
Sealed enclosures are ideally suited to rock, jazz and live music
