Every Thiele-Small figure comes from Ampere's own published table for the AA-2.75 8, and the table holds together: the moving mass and resonance reproduce the published Vas on a cone area in class for an 8 inch driver. One cell in Ampere's table is wrong: the cone area is printed as 130 square centimeters, but Ampere's own Vas and compliance put it at 200, which is in class for an 8 inch cone, and that figure is used here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-highlight\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e0.32 cubic feet net on Ampere's published figures: the dual 4 ohm reads Qtc 0.652 with resonance at 54.7 Hz and half power at 59.7 Hz. That is a slightly over-damped alignment: a gentle, early rolloff and tight transients rather than a flat top. This cabinet is listed for the AA-2.75 8 dual 4 ohm only. Ampere's dual 2 ohm version reads Qtc 0.59 in the same airspace, too damped to sound right sealed, so it is not offered in this enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrunk-Load Wedge Design Explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe driver mounts on the vertical trunk-lid-side face and fires rearward into the trunk cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSeat-Side Face Matches Seat Lean\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngled face matches the roughly 20 degree factory seat lean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrunk-Lid-Side Face Fires the Woofer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVertical baffle, cone firing rearward into the trunk cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrunk Cavity Loading\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trunk acts as an acoustic extension for a smoother presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePreserves Trunk Cargo Space\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wedge tucks against the seat back and the space in front stays usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEngineered for the Ampere Audio AA-2.75 8\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnechoic half power lands at 59.7 Hz, before any cabin gain.

The rear panel rakes 20 degrees, so the cavity deepens from 8.51 in at the top to 12.79 in at the base, and the 6.42 in motor clears it with 0.75 in to spare. Ampere prints no bolt circle for the AA-2.75 8, so the baffle ships undrilled with a threaded insert kit and stainless machine screws: set the driver in the recess, mark its holes, drill, press the inserts and bolt it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Numbers Rest On\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLangboard Elite MDF\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePremium 3\/4 in MDF throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eV-Groove and Dado Joinery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCNC cut V-grooves at every panel intersection, sides and brace seated in dados.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDouble-Layer 1.5\" Front Baffle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo bonded 3\/4 in MDF sheets at the driver face, the outer layer machined as a flush recess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"po-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAmpere's Published Parameters\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edual 4 ohm: Fs 47 Hz, Qts 0.56, Qes 0.65, Qms 4.63, Vas 3.19 L, Mms 206.4 g, Bl 24.71 N\/A, Re 7 ohm.
