RECOMMENDED SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURES FOR RW6
The speakers are installed in
Vb1 playing into chamber Vb2
where the ports are installed.
The ports must be pulled out of
the box 4” (10 cm) to allow the
air to pass.
F3 = approximative lower frequency for
vented boxes in Hz. Often called F-3 dB
point = the point where the power is 50%
lower.
Fb = Box resonant frequency

CALCULATE YOUR OWN ENCLOSURE
Box volumes:
When calculating the volume of an enclosure you simply multiply
the width (W) x heigth (H) x depth (D).
Use measures in dm and you will get the answer in liters.
A trapezoid box is calculated like this:
Vol = width (W) x heigth (H) x upper depth (UD) + lower depth (LD)

Be sure to use the inside
measures to get the correct
volume. The outside measures
depends on the material you use
for the box

VENTED ENCLOSURE WITH
TWO RW6
This is the enclosure we recommend you
to build and use for the two drivers in this
kit. It ’s carefully tested and found to be
the best choise. The port to be used is
included with the kit. The tube is cut to it’s
correct length and should not be changed.
There are two ports coming with this kit.
The larger one is for mount on the outside,
and the smaller one should be attached to
the tube inside the enclosure.
Make a round hole in the box where you
want to mount the bass port. Mounting
hole for the port is 115 mm
The larger flange should be mounted in
the box. Fasten it to the box with screws
or with some glue. There are prepared
drill holes on the back of the flange.
The smaller flange is for the inner end of
the tube. Use a PVC-glue to fasten it on
the tube.
Then glue the tube to the port mounted
in the box.
Use sealing compound round the flange
to make the box as airtight as possible.
The given enclosure volume is the inner
volume.
