How to Select the Correct Custom Subwoofer Enclosure for Your Vehicle
After retailing car audio subwoofers for decades, there is little question that the right subwoofer makes a world of difference in a vehicle’s sound system. Matching the correct components is very important to creating great sound. The shopper really has to spend some time doing research and deciding exactly what type of sound he wants to create.
The shopper first should decide upon what size subwoofer he wants to install. Through the years, I’ve met many shoppers after they had made the wrong decision and were unhappy with the results. While car audio subwoofers are available today in sizes from six to fifth teen inches in diameter, shoppers are sometimes surprised at the volume produced by even the smallest of subs. A subwoofer’s capability to produce a certain amount of bass is dependent upon the amplifier as well as the subwoofer enclosure.
In most cases, your available space will tell you how large a sub enclosure you might install and this will lead you to the correct subwoofer selection. A custom subwoofer enclosure will make a great installation if available. A custom-fit subwoofer enclosure is a sub box that has been made to fit in an “out of the way” location and usually results in a factory look when installed.
The alternative to a custom box is a standard truck subwoofer box. Your choice of sealed or ported will be governed by the specifics of the subwoofer you select. The easiest way to shop for a universal subwoofer enclosure is to check your box measurements. A ported enclosure will always require more air space then a sealed box of similar subwoofer size. So measure your install area first, match a subwoofer that you like to the boxes volume or air space.
After the selection of sub and enclosure, you have to find an appropriate subwoofer amplifier. Again you have to check your subwoofer’s spec sheet to determine the proper power requirements. This all might sound like a lot of work but the results are well worth the effort. As you might guess, there are several variables in the selection process that I can’t discuss here.
