The manual you sent me was excellent. It included clear, readable diagrams and a usable parts list. I would surely use your service again. Thanks
;
Payments were processed quickly and items were exactly as described. I will use owner-manuals.com in the future for any other manual needs.

The Technics manual was very clear and I was able to solve my technical problems.
I did not think that anyone kept these manuals and was pleasantly surprised to find them on the Internet and at an affordable price.
I would recommend Owner Manuals as a first source of technical products for ‘dated’ equipment manuals.

The content of the manual was not found on the Internet and was a hard find. I check the net for 5 hours until I came across this web-site. When I did find the book it Auto loaded into my IPAD PDF shelf for books for review at anytime. Overall I am satisfied with the book and it answered all my questions. This repair book is obsolete because the product I bout it for is pretty old. Thanks for the help with the download and even having the manual. Thanks 73's K5HRD

Excellent manual including schematics. The service was great and the manual helped complete the job.
SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE TRADE-OFFS
Subwoofer enclosures are classified as sealed (acoustic suspension) or ported (bass-reflex), and can be built in many configurations. Here we discuss three popular box types and encourage you to compare their response curves, noting the differences in Beta Ten output level and frequency response versus volume in sealed, vented, and single-reflex band-pass enclosures. A sealed enclosure is the smallest and simplest to build, with high power handling, good phase coherence, and the most predictable response, at the expense of somewhat diminished sound output. If amplifier power is not a concern, this is the best choice for most systems, providing the highest output at the lowest frequencies. A vented enclosure adds a port (or vent) tuned to the speaker�s resonance in the box to help boost sound output by �tuning� the rear sound waves so they add to the front ones. It is more efficient than a sealed box above the tuned frequency, but more difficult to build properly. For frequencies below the tuned range, output is lessened due to sound cancellation, and there is a 180degree phase shift at the tuned frequency. Other drawbacks are the increased box size for the added port and diminished power handling due to woofer over-excursion at frequencies below the tuned frequency. A single-reflex band-pass enclosure counteracts the sound cancellation properties in vented designs by isolating the subwoofer from the port within its own enclosure. It offers higher power handling, and an automatic band-pass response to help roll off higher frequencies. However, it has a 180-degree phase shift at the tuned frequency. Also, complexity and size are increased, due to separate front and rear chambers, and it requires adding substantial midbass drivers elsewhere in the car. We recommend a sealed enclosure for the Beta Ten. Depending on your taste in music, you can select a box volume for a flat, enhanced, or extended bass response (see graphs on right). The flat response is optimum for all enclosures and types of music. The enhanced sealed box provides a �tighter� bass, great for rock and rap. An enhanced vented box has increased output, but with diminished transient response and power handling. The extended sealed box is more efficient at the lowest frequencies, providing added bass boost for jazz and classical music, but with diminished power handling. The extended response curve provides the best power handling for vented enclosures. For more help, please call Infinity technical support at: (800) 553-3332
