Box Building Notes
Use 3/4" (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium
density fiberboard) and seal the joints with
silicone. Use the "template" inside your
CompC subwoofer's shipping carton to
mark the mounting hole, then cut directly
on the line. These designs need internal
bracing. Add triangular bracing between
each of the larger unsupported panels.
All the cubic feet (L) measurements in this
manual include the displacement of the
woofer. For the vented enclosures the
displacement of the port must be calculated
and added to the internal volume of the
final design. Use the outer dimensions of
the port and multiply "X x Y x Z", convert
to cubic feet, for example the CompC12
Vented Minimum design's external port
dimensions are, using 3/4" (1.9cm) MDF:
(12.5" + 1.5" total MDF wall thickness) x
(2.5" + 1.5" total MDF wall thickness) x
(20") x (1 ft
/ 1728 in
) = .65 ft

Then, add this number to the internal
volume of the enclosure. 1.75 ft
+ .65 ft
=

2.4 ft

Due to the necessary length of these ports,
you may want to fold the port along the
bottom and back walls. It will be impractical
to use round ports for these designs.
