Box Guidelines
Phase Linear recommends that you have your
subwoofers professionally installed. If choosing
to do your own installation, please note the
following:
• Make sure all moving parts and factory
electrical wires are cleared.
• Leave slack in the wire to prevent pulling or
stretching.
• Tie down wires to prevent them from getting
caught or shorted.
• Do not mount subwoofers where they might be
subjected to moisture.
• Correct subwoofer polarity must be used. The
polarity positive side is marked by a (+) sign or
red dot. Subwoofers out of phase will have
little bass output.
Box Calculations
During construction, temporarily assemble the
wood making sure all pieces line up. Assemble
the box before cutting the holes for the
subwoofers. After the box is assembled, connect
an amplifier to the subwoofer, and listen for
whistling noises and buzzes. If the box will be

• Speaker frames will be twisted by installation
on uneven surfaces. This occurs when the
surface is carpeted/padded and screws are
over tightened.
• If using more than one subwoofers, be sure that
the combined impedance values cannot damage
the amplifier.
• Speaker wire should be isolated from the
vehicleís electrical system to avoid noise being
picked up by the amplifiers. We recommend
Road Gear or Sound Quest brands of wire.
• Speaker wire should be large enough to carry
the full power of the amplifier. 14 gauge or
larger sizes are adequate.
• Be sure to give your ears a break if you listen
loud. Listening loud for extended periods can
damage your hearing!
