1. VENTED ENCLOSURES A vented enclosure acts like a sealed enclosure at frequencies ahove its tuned resonance frequency At resonance which is defined by the vent the vent produces the majority of sound the subwoofer cone is nearly stationary while the air inside the vent vibrates This provides greater mechanical power handling at and above resonance but reduced mechanical power handling below resonance Since the subwoofer cone and voice coil don t move much at resonance airflow across the voice coil is minimized and thermal power handling is reduced slightly at resonance Vented enclosures provide better efficiency in the 40Hz 60Hz range at the expense of sound output in the lowest octave below 40Hz The use of an infrasonic filter is recommended with vented enclosures An optimum vented enclosure for a Kappa series subwoofer is larger than an optimum sealed enclosure ae See accompanying data sheet for specific enclosure dimension requirements Car audio and car goods internet store Winauto VENTED ENCLOSURE PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES VENTED ENCLOSURE PERFORMANCE TRADE OFFS Reduced output in the lowest octave below 4092 An optimum vented enclosure has greater efficiency and higher output in the 40Hz 60Hz range than an optimum sealed enclosure Reduced mechanical power handling below the enclosure s reso gace An optimum vented enclosure provides a greater sensation of hass than2.
