For best performance the walls of the enclosure should be rigid and not vibrate as a result of the internal pressures
generated by the loudspeakers.
recommends constructing enclosures from medium-density fiberboard
(MDF) with a minimum thickness of 3/4”. In larger enclosures over 1 cubic foot, internal bracing that joins opposite walls
can be incorporated and the final enclosure should be as rigid as possible. All joints should be glued and fastened with
screws. Additionally, internal joints can be covered with a small bead of silicone adhesive to ensure that the enclosure is
completely air-tight. Drivers should be fastened to the enclosure with self-threading screws with adequate length and
diameter, utilizing all the mounting holes in the frame. To avoid air leakage, a foam rubber gasket or similar sealing
method should be applied between the loudspeaker and the enclosure. The external surface of the enclosure may be
painted or fabric-covered, to suit the consumer. Since low frequency sounds are not directional, subwoofer enclosures
can generally be placed anywhere within the boat, without compromising stereo imaging. However, different placement
locations of subwoofer enclosures can sometimes influence the overall quality of bass/midbass response, so you may
wish to experiment with various mounting locations before permanently mounting the woofer.

Marine subwoofers are offered in Dual Voice Coil configuration 2+2 ohms. Voice coils can be wired in
parallel (Z = 1 ohm) or in series (Z = 4 ohms), allowing the user to properly match the driver to his amplifier.
