Subwoofers are used in car audio to enhance bass response you hear in your music. A subwoofer is placed into an enclosure box, to enhance the bass to the way you want it to sound. Ported boxes are tuned to a specific frequency and are usually used to gain more SPL. Sealed boxes have no tuning, but make bass sound punchy and accurate, which is why it provides far better sound quality over ported. Subwoofer enclosures are usually covered in speaker cloth, the same type of carpet material that is used for car interior. This makes the subwoofer enclosure blend in with the rest of the car once installed into the trunk, to give it a stealthy look. If your subwoofer box is been is storage for quite a while, you might want to clean it to make it look brand new once again!
1) The speaker cloth material that is used to cover up the MDF wood of the box is similar to household carpet. So the most appropriate cleaning tool for this job will be a regular household vacuum cleaner. So obtain your vacuum cleaner, plug into a available wall socket and switch it on.
2) Attach the plastic nozzle that is shaped like a pointy pipe. This is the best attachment to use because it allows you to cover different areas of the box very easily. Also ensure that power setting on your vacuum cleaner is set to the lowest level because too much suction can cause the carpet to rip of the box.
3) Switch on your vacuum cleaner and begin to clean one side of the subwoofer box. Try to avoid cleaning around the subwoofer because if you make a mistake and you aim for the cone or rubber surround, you will suck it up and permanently damage it.
4) Once you have done one side, stop hoovering and check your progress that you have made. If you have successfully removed all the dust and dirt, move onto the next side of the box and repeat the cleaning process.
