There are several different enclosure designs for different applications. 
The EXC subwoofers work very well in all the following enclosure 
designs. It is up to you to select the specific enclosure that will work 
the best for your particular application. 
Infinite Baffle 
Infinite baffle is the simplest type of subwoofer installation. In this type of 
installation, the woofer(s) is mounted to a baffle, which is then mounted 
to either the rear deck or back seat of the vehicle. The best results are 
achieved when the trunk area is virtually airtight and isolated from the 
passenger compartment. 
Pros 
• 
Excellent low frequency extension 
• 
Excellent transient response 
• 
Uses almost no trunk space
 
Cons 
• 
Lower power handling 
• 
Low to medium efficiency 
Sealed Enclosure 
Sealed enclosures are relatively simple to build and install, as all that is 
required is an airtight box. The larger the sealed enclosure, the more the 
performance resembles that of an infinite baffle installation. 
Pros 
• 
Very good low frequency 
extension 
• 
Very good transient response 
• 
High power handling 
Cons 
• 
Medium efficiency 
Vented Enclosure 
Vented enclosures use a sealed enclosure with a vent or port in the box 
which is tuned to resonate at a specific frequency. 
Pros 
• 
Good low frequency 
extension down to the 
tuning frequency 
• 
High power handling down 
to the tuning frequency 
• 
Higher output than sealed 
enclosures 
Cons 
• 
Low power handling 
below the tuning 
frequency 
• 
Almost no output 
below the tuning 
frequency
