We do not recommend you use computer software to determine enclosure sizes or type. While high–end enclosure design software may be useful for engineering purposes, it cannot completely predict performance in a given vehicle and should not replace a real enclosure that has been tested and listened to in a car. Please use our recommended enclosures for optimum perform

The joints should be liberally glued with carpenter’s wood glue and screwed together with wood screws and sealed internally with a bead of silicone rubber or hot melt glue. Drill pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting and tighten the screws as much as possible. Excess glue can be wiped off with a damp sponge or paper towel. Warning It is extremely important to completely seal the enclosure. Even small leaks can have a dramatic effect on sub- woofer performance. Look, listen, and test for

Warning This manual explains only the basic installation of the subwoofers—not the techniques required to perform the installation. If you do not have the experience that these procedures require, we strongly suggest you consult your Boston Acoustics dealer about professional installation. Enclosure Recommendations The ProSeries and Competitor Series subwoofers are designed to deliver optimum performance in small sealed enclosures. The Generator Series subwoofers are designed for either sealed o
