The Punch HE2 DVC Punch HX2 DVC Power HX2 DVC are high perfor mance low frequency drivers with dual voice coils These woofers were designed for use primarily in small sealed and small ported enclosures By utilizing the latest materials and construction techniques we are able to offer a speaker with high output at low frequencies while requiring a mini mum of operating space CONTENTS Punch HE2 DVC Punch HX2 DVC Punch HE2 DVC Woofer Punch HX2 DVC Woofer Installation amp Operation Manual Installation amp Operation Manual Power HX2 DVC Power HX2 DVC Woofer Installation amp Operation Manual Recommended Enclosures This manual outlines two specific types of enclosures that provide distinctly different performance This section is to help you decide which type is best for your application Sealed Sealed enclosures are the simplest to build The most important part of building a sealed enclosure is to make sure that the enclosure is airtight Using glue and some type of sealant on all seams will ensure solid con struction and prevent air leaks The box volume will directly impact the performance of the speaker Larger enclosures will provide flatter response and deeper bass where smaller boxes will provide a bump in the response curve and generally higher output for greater SPL Advantages of sealed enclosures Small enclosures e Linear Flat response e No port noise eHigh power handling at all frequencies e Exc
