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
