15" Car Speaker and Subwoofer Enclosures

Deliver a Big Bass Sound With a 15-Inch Subwoofer Box

A subwoofer box can protect your audio components. This box also helps you maximize the bass in your sound system. You can find a wide selection of these enclosures on eBay. Here are a few points to consider before buying a low-priced 15-inch subwoofer box for your vehicle.

You need a good woofer and enclosure to get a deep bass sound. The subwoofer box helps you achieve the optimal amount of bass in your music. This enclosure houses your woofers and speakers. You want to find a box that is properly constructed for the components. Many people prefer enclosures made of wood or particle board. These materials are sturdy and can handle the vibration of the bass. If you just place the speakers and subwoofers in your car without an enclosure, you will not hear the full bass sound. The enclosure balances out these sounds. This box helps make sure that those low frequencies are not canceled out by the speakers.

These enclosures come in many different designs. Some of the most common enclosures are listed here:

• Ported boxes: These enclosures are also called "vented boxes." The vent gives you a lower response from the bass. They can deliver a deeper bass sound than a sealed enclosure. This box is good for those who enjoy rock or heavy metal music.
• Sealed boxes: These boxes are airtight. Many people who want to hear a more accurate bass will choose this box. This type of enclosure does require more wattage than other boxes. You get a deeper bass sound from a sealed box.
• Free-air boxes: These enclosures are specifically made for free-air subwoofers. They are usually mounted in the rear seat or trunk area. These enclosures can be installed in tight spaces that can isolate sound. This box is more space-saving but has a flat sounding bass.
• Bandpass boxes: This is another specialty sub box. It is designed to get the biggest boom for your bass. It is a dual-chambered box. The woofer is mounted in the sealed section. The booming bass comes from the second ported chamber. These enclosures are designed for rap or hard rock music.

You can install these enclosures under the seat or in your trunk area. You want to make sure there is enough ventilation in your space. These components need the proper air-flow and heat dissipation in order to work.
