Obcon Subwoofer
Enclosures
Obcon and R/T subwoofer enclosures offer custom-fit
applications but in a slightly different package. Their boxes
are offer a bit louder bass then the composite type constructed
cousins by MTX and Q Custom. Most applications are also vented
by their patented system. See below for details on their unique
construction.
| This
state of the art crafted RT/Obcon enclosure
is made with perfection using high-density
particleboard and a grey carpet covering
which is durable and highly reliable. A key
feature is the included spring loaded speaker
terminals. |

What
Is Labyrinth Slot Venting?
|
|
|
Labyrinth
Slot Venting is a form of "porting" on a
much higher level verses cutting a hole
in a box and dropping in a port
tube.
The
Labyrinth Design increases the amount of
bass your woofer produces without adding
any additional power to your
system.
As with all porting designs,
the Labyrinth opens up the back side of
the woofer so more sound can escape from
the inside chamber of the box. By
utilizing both the "push" and "pull"
motion of your sub woofer the design of
the enclosure is magnifying the sound of
the sub without exterior power
added.
However, the porting process
can also decrease sound if done
improperly. This is done when the box is
tuned incorrectly to the ideal
requirement of your sub woofer. A simple
explanation would be the sound waves
traveling from the "pull" of the woofer
will cancel out the sound waves firing
from the "push" of the woofer. Not only
will the sound be adversely effected but
continued play will cause permanent
damage to the sub woofer.
The design of the Labyrinth
Slot Vent brings a controlled sound level
increase. By its "MAZE" design, long low
frequency sound waves easily escape while
short high frequency waves remain trapped
unable to cause unwanted cancellation and
distortion. In turn, this gives you the
listener, loud clean bass a sealed or
basic port design can not
deliver.
