I have 2 pairs (4 units) of ADS S10 10” subwoofer drivers. I cannot decide which type of enclosures should be used since the manual suggests both closed enclosure and infinite baffle types. But if I choose closed enclosure, only two of them can be used because of limited trunk space. While the IB allows to install all 4 units—under the rear parcel shelf of the ‘83 380SEL. So, regarding the manual attached, please advise me which way is better and should go for.
The enclosed woofers will likely be punchier. The IB would be able to go lower but with the cabin gain (transfer function) in the vehicle, it may be too much on the extreme low frequency end. A subsonic filter could help there.
Two to four would also have a different load for the amp.
