All about enclosure subwoofers
The cabinet subwoofer is a
single subwoofer housed in a wooden box. Both elements are perfectly matched to each other. The optimum solution for a bass upgrade - directly in the trunk - is the modern active subwoofer variant
. The special feature is that the amplifier is located directly in the
subwoofer housing, while the bass reflex housing has an equalization opening through which air flows. This opening is also available as a round aeroport or elongated slotted port. The cabinet subwoofers are available with drivers of different sizes. The larger the driver, the larger the enclosure and the stronger the bass:
- 6.5" = 16.5 cm, quick and easy to install, almost invisible in the car
- 8" = 20 cm, the smaller cone area does not generate much pressure
- 10" = 25 cm, the larger cone area provides higher sound pressure
- 12" = 30 cm, these versions are all-rounders and work with high pressure
- 15" = 38 cm, are explicitly suitable for music with above-average bass frequencies that require extremely high pressure
The cabinet subwoofer with a driver size of 10 inches is right in the middle of the available cabinet subwoofer sizes. A popular model here is the
Titan TD-250R cabinet subwoofer from Hifonics. This model is available individually and in a dual version. The integrated chrome brackets not only look good, they also provide optimum protection for the subwoofer. The front panel, on the other hand, is an eye-catcher with its exclusive carbon look. The cover features the embroidered Hifonics logo. The
Blam model is one of the most popular brands. The bass reflex cabinet is beautifully integrated and simple in terms of appearance. The integrated amplifier has an output of 360W and the subwoofer belongs to the 8", 20 cm category. If you would like to take a look at our other top sellers, click here:

The bass sound for the car
The sound experience in the car with the high-quality sound system is impressive. The powerful but distortion-free bass is important here. The cabinet subwoofer is part of the
optimum equipment. The main components of the subwoofer are the housing, the bass speaker and connection terminals for the cable leading to the
amplifier. Bass reflex speakers are also equipped with an aeroport. Closed enclosures have a so-called Sonofil inside, which is a polyester wool used for damping and thus sound improvement.
Cabinet subwoofers with different enclosures
Mention was made of the bass reflex enclosure, which scores highly in terms of efficiency, regardless of whether low frequencies are in use.
"More power in the enclosure with less power" is how this model is presented. The closed cabinet is smaller and slightly more precise than the bass reflex cabinet. The large bandpass enclosure scores with the advantages of both designs, but is also usually large and the driver itself is not visible. The active subwoofer is an enclosure subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. This makes installation easier. They are often small versions that even fit under the seat.
Powerful bass complements the sound effect
Do you want to expand your system with powerful bass, but don't want to go through a complicated installation? In this case, an enclosure subwoofer, for example a high-efficiency bass reflex enclosure, is a good solution. The enclosures usually come with a hard-wearing felt cover, which is practical and popular. The most convenient models even come with an integrated Class D amplifier remote control.
Cabinet subwoofers - Our professional tip:
The Bassrelfex enclosure has made a name for itself and is popular due to its high efficiency. If the speaker works without an enclosure, the sound radiates on both sides. In a closed enclosure, the radiation logically remains in the enclosure. The
bass reflex encl osure, on the other hand, uses the sound from the rear for reproduction. This enclosure is not completely closed and uses what is known as an aeroport (bass reflex port), which means that it can get quite windy in the car.

Conclusion
The cabinet subwoofer is extremely useful. There are different designs and enclosures, whereby - as already mentioned - the bass reflex enclosure is at the top of the list. The subwoofer is housed in an enclosure with an opening. The closed enclosure is particularly appealing to lovers of a fine sound. The bass reflex enclosure is best for those who want a particularly strong bass output. Everyone has different requirements, so the right device can be found quickly thanks to the large selection.
