Introduction

The RF Punch HE Woofers are a full line of low frequency drivers sized

from 8" to 15" and are available in 4 or 8 ohm impedance. The RF Punch

HE woofers were designed for use primarily in small, sealed or ported

enclosures. By utilizing the latest materials and construction techniques,

we are able to offer a speaker with high output at low frequencies while

requiring a minimum of operating space.

Installation & Owner's Manual

Recommended Enclosures

This manual outlines 2 specific types of enclosures that provide distinctly

different performance. This section is to help you decide which type is best

for your application.

Sealed

Sealed enclosures are the simplest to build. The most important part of

building a sealed enclosure is to make sure that the enclosure is airtight.

Using glue and some type of sealant on all seams will ensure solid con-

struction and prevent air leaks. The box volume will directly impact the

performance of the speaker. Larger enclosure will provide flatter response

and deeper bass where smaller boxes will provide a bump in the response

curve and generally higher output for greater SPL.

Advantages of sealed enclosures

•Small enclosures

•Linear (Flat) response

•No port noise

•High power handling at all frequencies

•Excellent for sound quality

+ -

Recommended Enclosures

Vented Enclosures:

Vented enclosures vary only from the sealed enclosures in that a vent or

port is added to “tune”the enclosure. The enclosures recommended are

designed for great overall performance. Larger boxes tend to be easy to

tune to lower frequencies while medium and small boxes are easier to tune

to higher frequencies. The vented design is less linear in response than the

sealed box with noticeably more output at the tuning frequency.

Advantages of vented enclosures

•Higher average output than sealed

•Tuning frequency can be easily adjusted by changing port length

•Deep bass response with lower power requirements

•Great for high output with limited power

Building an Enclosure

To work properly, the walls of the enclosure must be rigid and not flex

when subjected to the high pressures generated by the speaker's operation.

For optimum performance, we recommend using 3/4" MDF (Medium

Density Fiberboard) and internal bracing. The enclosure should be glued

together and secured with nails or screws. MDF is porous; therefore, it is

suggested to also seal the outside walls with polyurethane.

Calculating Volume

Calculating volume is merely a matter of measuring the dimensions in

inches and using the formula:

1728"/(cu in/cu ft)

Height”x Width”x Depth”

Box Volume=

(cubic feet)

If two facing sides are of uneven length, add them together and divide by

two to take the average. Using this number will give you the volume with-

out the necessity of calculating the box in sections and adding the sections

together. The thickness of the baffle material reduces the internal volume

so this must be subtracted from the outside dimensions to determine the

internal volume. The speaker itself also reduces the internal volume. The

amount of air displaced by each model is listed on the specification sheet

and should also be subtracted from the gross volume calculation.

Subwoofer Crossovers

There are two operational types of crossovers, passive and active. Passive

crossovers (coils or inductors) are placed on the speaker leads between the

amplifier and speaker. An active crossover is an electronic filter which sep-

arates the audio signal fed to different amplifiers. For optimum subwoofer

performance, we recommend using an active 80-100Hz low-pass

crossover at 12dB/octave.
