Modelled response
Performance in this enclosure
01Is it a sealed driver?
Efficiency bandwidth product places the motor before anything else is decided.
02What the box does to it
0.607 cu ft against a 36.6 L Vas.
03The watts that reach Xmax (in this enclosure)
Travel scales with the square root of power, so there is one wattage that puts the cone exactly on 18.0 mm — and a bigger one once a subsonic filter stops it wasting travel below the passband.
| Param | Value | Unit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fs | 20.37 / 21.76 | Hz | free-air resonance |
| Qts | 0.340 / 0.390 | D2 / D4 | |
| Vas | 36.63 / 36.03 | L | equivalent compliance |
| Sd | 346.4 | cm² | effective piston area |

Installer's take
Same pair of GUS-10s, same airspace per driver as our standard 30 x 15, in a cabinet 12 inches deep. 0.607 cubic feet net per chamber, within seven thousandths of ResoNix's own 0.6 cubic feet for the Dual 4-Ohm.
Per chamber: Dual 4-Ohm: Qtc 0.686, Fc 38.3 Hz, F3 39.5 Hz. Dual 2-Ohm: Qtc 0.602, Fc 36.0 Hz, F3 43.4 Hz. The D4 is the match; the D2 wants a smaller box and runs more damped here, still a clean alignment.
The motor clears the top with 3.07 inches to spare, so airspace set the height, not clearance. The vented rear cone means the pole vent can be fully blocked anyway.
Standoffs are not optional. ResoNix requires 55mm from the baffle surface to the floor. Set it flat on the carpet and you restrict both drivers.
500 watts RMS each, 1000 combined. ResoNix does not underrate these and overpower damage is not warranty work.

Questions
Why is this cabinet 41 inches wide instead of 30?
Because it is only 12 inches deep. The standard Performance Optimized Down Fire platform is 30 wide by 15 deep, and this application needs a cabinet that fits a space three inches shallower than that.
The airspace has to come from somewhere, so the cabinet runs 41 inches long instead of 30 and stands 7.8125 inches tall, with each driver still in its own chamber. If you have 15 inches of depth, the standard cabinet is the pick; if your space is long and shallow, under a rear bench or on a narrow cargo floor, this is the shape that fits.
How does this compare to the standard 30 x 15 dual ResoNix GUS-10 enclosure?
The standard cabinet is 30 x 15 x 8.3125 inches and gives each driver 0.60 cubic feet net. This cabinet is 41 x 12 x 7.8125 and gives each driver 0.607 cubic feet net, within 0.007 cubic feet of the standard box. Acoustically they are effectively the same enclosure. The choice is about shape: the standard box needs 15 inches of depth, this one needs 12 inches of depth and 41 inches of run.
What alignment does this cabinet give, and what is the low-frequency extension?
The chambers are sized to ResoNix's own 0.707 volume for the Dual 4-Ohm. At 0.607 cubic feet net per chamber: Dual 4-Ohm: Qtc 0.686, Fc 38.3 Hz, F3 39.5 Hz. Dual 2-Ohm: Qtc 0.602, Fc 36.0 Hz, F3 43.4 Hz. The Dual 2-Ohm is designed around a smaller box, so it lands more damped here.
Those are anechoic figures. Firing into the floor, the sealed rolloff meets rising cabin gain, so in-car response runs deeper than the numbers above.
How is this enclosure wired, and how do I set my final impedance?
One side-mounted Proline X terminal cup with a single pair of posts, pre-wired in 12 gauge OFC to both driver positions in parallel. You do not wire the two chambers separately at the amplifier.
Final impedance is set at the drivers. Each GUS-10 is dual voice coil, so how you wire the two coils on each driver determines the load the amplifier sees through the cup. Use two of the same coil version, wire them identically, and confirm the load against your amplifier's minimum stable impedance. Hold delivered power to 500 watts RMS per driver.
Why does this enclosure come with standoffs?
Because ResoNix specifies a minimum clearance in front of the cone, and on a down fire enclosure the thing in front of the cone is the floor. Their requirement for the GUS-10 is 23mm between the surround and the obstruction, or 55mm measured from the baffle surface.
The custom-fit standoffs hold that clearance at both driver positions. They are a required part of the design, not an accessory.
Where is the terminal cup located on a down fire enclosure?
Side mounted, and there is one cup serving both chambers rather than one per chamber. Every Proline X Performance Optimized enclosure uses a side mounted terminal cup, and on a down fire cabinet that keeps the connection accessible with the enclosure installed, since both baffles face the floor. The cup is our Proline X ABS and carbon fiber composite unit, recessed, with stainless hardware, copper ring terminals, and 12 gauge OFC pre-wired to both driver positions in parallel.
How is this enclosure built?
V-groove and dado joinery, CNC cut on ShopSabre routers from Langboard Elite MDF. Every panel joint is a machined interlocking groove that mechanically locks the panels before adhesive is applied, which keeps both chambers airtight under sustained pressure cycling. Corners are square, the Down Fire series standard, with no radii.
The front baffle is a double layer at 1.5 inches, with the outer layer machined as a flush recess so each driver bolts to the inner layer. A full-height bonded 3/4 inch divider separates the chambers and ties the front and rear walls together across the 41 inch span. Custom-fit standoffs are included to hold ResoNix's required floor clearance. Polyfill is installed as a light wall lining. Assembled and inspected in Tullahoma, Tennessee.
Are the ResoNix GUS-10 subwoofers included with this enclosure?
No. This listing is for the enclosure only, and includes the custom-fit standoffs. ResoNix GUS-10 subwoofers are purchased directly from ResoNix Sound Solutions. The cutouts and mounting depth are direct fit at both positions; use two of the same coil version.
