Performance Optimized Wedge Sealed 15" Enclosure Ampere Audio AA-2.75 15 · Single 15" Sealed enclosure

The AA-2.75 15, yes, in both coil versions. The baffle is cut to 14.01 in, Ampere's published cutout, under the 15.59 in frame. The 9.00 inch motor clears the cabinet with 3.98 inch to spare.

Any other 15, no. The airspace is engineered around the AA-2.75 15's own Qts and Vas, and a different woofer that happened to drop into the hole would not see the alignment printed on this page.

3.27 cubic feet net on Ampere's published figures: the dual 2 ohm reads Qtc 0.656 with resonance at 46.0 Hz and half power at 49.8 Hz, and the dual 4 ohm reads Qtc 0.758 with resonance at 45.6 Hz and half power at 42.8 Hz. One cabinet serves both coils, built to the volume that keeps both closest to maximally flat. That is spread either side of maximally flat: the lower-Q coil a little drier, the higher-Q coil a little punchier.

Cabinet gain in a vehicle lifts the bottom end further, so in the car this reads deeper than the anechoic figures.

Ampere rates the AA-2.75 15 at 1000 watts RMS, so target 700 to 1000 watts RMS at the final load.

Ampere sells the AA-2.75 15 as dual 2 ohm and dual 4 ohm: the dual 2 ohm is two 2 ohm coils, 4 ohms in series or 1 ohm in parallel; the dual 4 ohm is two 4 ohm coils, 8 ohms in series or 2 ohms in parallel. A parallel load at or under 1 ohm needs an amplifier rated for it. Confirm your amplifier's minimum stable impedance first.

The seat-side face carries a 20 degree rake that matches the lean of a factory rear seat back, so the cabinet sits flush against it and the cargo space in front stays usable. The baffle is the vertical trunk-lid-side face, so the driver fires rearward into the trunk cavity.

The trunk acts as an acoustic extension for the sealed box, and the cabin adds real output below 50 Hz, so in-vehicle response runs deeper than the anechoic 49.8 Hz on the dual 2 ohm and 42.8 Hz on the dual 4 ohm on this page.

The baffle is two bonded 3/4 inch sheets, 1.5 inches through. A single 3/4 inch panel flexes under the pressure a 15 inch woofer puts on it at 1000 watts, which smears output and works the driver loose over time; the second layer stiffens the face and gives the mounting hardware twice the material to bite.

The outer layer is machined as a flush recess to Ampere's 15.59 inch frame, so the driver bolts to the inner layer and sits flush with the gloss black acrylic insert.

Anechoic F3 is 49.8 Hz on the dual 2 ohm and 42.8 Hz on the dual 4 ohm. The lower-Q coil rolls off gently with F3 above fc; the higher-Q coil carries a small lift near resonance.

Those figures exclude cabin gain. In a car the cabin's transfer function adds real output below 50 Hz, so in-vehicle response runs deeper than the numbers above.

No. Polyfill is already installed as a light wall lining to control internal reflections, and the quantity is chosen so it does not change the acoustic volume.

Do not add more. Packing a sealed box with fill makes it behave as though it were larger, which walks the alignment away from the 3.27 cubic feet this cabinet was built to.

No driver. This is an enclosure only. You receive the cabinet finished in plush black carpet with the gloss black acrylic baffle insert, one side-mounted pre-wired terminal cup, the polyfill lining already in place, and a threaded insert kit with stainless machine screws.

The inserts ship loose on purpose: Ampere prints no bolt circle for the AA-2.75 15, so you set the driver in the recess, mark its holes, drill and press the inserts. The Ampere Audio AA-2.75 15 is purchased separately, and the cabinet is cut direct fit to it, not a general purpose 15 inch box.
