SWS Enclosures
SWS subwoofers are designed to bring bass virtually anywhere in a car: in front doors,
rear doors, dash board, center console, under seats, rear decks, and in any space limited
mounting depth. The following volumes shown below are created to give you optimized
"deep bass from the shallowest space".
In order to match a box volume that bests suites your needs, you will need to find out the
amount of space that you have to work with, then use the formula below to find out which
range you will should be in based on our recommendations.
Choosing an enclosure type that perfectly tailors to your needs can sometimes be a hassle
and unfortunately choosing or building the wrong enclosure could potentially destroy the
sound quality of your system. The SWS subwoofers deliver truly prenominal bass response
from the shallowest of places. And in order to harness their greatness you will need to
make sure that your enclosure will be suffice for your application.
Sealed Enclosures:
Do you often turn the bass down on a car or home stereo system because it sounds boomy
to you? If you do, a sealed enclosure is an excellent choice, especially if you listen to a
wide variety of music. This type of enclosure produces well-defined, strong, but not
overpowering bass.
Bandpass Enclosures:
This bass is not really punchy, it's more like a massive, swampy force of low end that
powers the music which can be great for some tunes and extremely overwhelming on
others. If you prefer the harder stuff (metal, hard rock, industrial) or music with impact bass
content (reggae, hip hop) and you like your bass to be LOUD, the bandpass box is a great
way to go. And, if your amplifier is lacking in the power department, you'll get the most bang
for your buck from this design.
Ported Enclosure:
The ported box is also exceptionally loud, so it will also be a good choice if you have limited
power available. If you listen to a wide range of music and if you're always cranking up the
bass when you listen to tunes.

Earthquake Subwofoers are capable of generating high sound pressure
levels. You should exercise caution when operating these
subwoofer/amplifier systems. Long term exposures to high levels of sound
pressure will cause permanent damage to your hearing. Sound pressure levels exceeding
85dB can be dangerous with constant exposure. Set your audio system to a comfortable
loudness level. Earthquake Sound Corporation does not assume liability for damages
resulting from the direct use of Earthquake amplifiers or other Earthquake products , and
urges users to play their music at moderate listening levels.
