VENTED ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION A vented (also known as ported) enclosure is not much more comple[ than a sealed design. It consists of a bo[ with a hole in it. The vented enclosure has to be correctly designed in order to function correctly. The vent in the enclosure interacts with the air in the cabinet and the woofer to increase output and reduce cone e[cursion at and around the tuning frequency. At the tuning frequency of the enclosure almost all of the bass is being produced by the vent, not the woofer. It is more dif¿cult to achieve good performance as the enclosure volume and port volume are critical but the results are worth it as the ported bo[ is up to times as loud as the same woofer in a sealed bo[. It is also possible with the correct tuning to add a ³bump´ in the response of the enclosure to boost bass at a preferred frequency. Vented enclosures are best suited to dance, 5 B, electronically produced music and high 6P/ applications.
