The cabinet is one of the most important parts of a subwoofer. In most cases, it is easily the most expensive part. This means it is very often the most easily skimped on by manufacturers, but not here at Epik subwoofers. Take a look around and see how many subwoofer companies let you see inside their boxes. You will find very few that do, for good reason.

Our cabinets are the result of years of measurements and prototyping. As each driver was developed, a cabinet was slowly developed alongside it. The tuning and internal cabinet size was changed and tweaked until it gave us exactly what we wanted.

We started the design process using CAD software to optimize the joinery and internal bracing. Everything was fitted perfectly before a single piece was cut. Proper internal airflow was carefully examined and tested so we achieved extremely rigid walls while still retaining the internal airflow needed to keep up with our driver and enormous 6” flared port.

The biggest advantage our cabinets offer is their size. Most subwoofer manufacturers try to keep things as small as possible to avoid expensive cabinet and finishing costs. We do the complete opposite. We give you what you want: the best performance possible for the money.

Big cabinets are more efficient than smaller ones. We can do much more with a lot less power. We also maximize every square inch inside of our cabinets to produce the most internal volume while still retaining a rigid design that does not flex.

Our cabinets are built in-house in our own factory. We have or own high-speed 4-axis CNC machining facilities that allow even the most complex cabinets to be reproduced accurately and without compromise. Cabinet components are all cut to thousandth-of-an-inch precision.

All panels are precisely notched and grooved internally so that they fit together perfectly with no nails or lesser manufacturing methods. That means that there is no chance for assembly errors or quality control issues. The cabinet can only be assembled one way and every part always fits perfectly. Every Conquest cabinet is made up on no less than 12 separately cut parts. All components are superbly flush-mounted and fit perfectly into our cabinets.

We also use very high grade super-refined MDF. It machines better, fits better, finishes better and it sounds better than “normal” grade MDF. It also costs much more. Once we used it and appreciated its superior qualities, we never looked back. You will find it lining every cabinet we build.

The finishes we use are also important. We can honestly say that we agonized over the finish as much as any other single part. Even our finishes are American made.

The textured black finish is an amazing component in itself. We chose it for its superior acoustical damping abilities and its incredible durability. Cabinets with this finish just sounded better than regular black paint. Just like the higher grade MDF, once we used it, we never went back to anything else because nothing worked as well.

Our fantastic black textured finish material is actually used by the military to improve body and vehicle armor. It is an understatement to say that it absorbs energy very well. That is what originally drew our attention for use as a finish. It is just as great a vibration dampening component as it is a durable finish that last for years without ever fading, cracking or peeling.

Since we need it to look great, we worked closely with our OEM supplier to get a finish that looks as good as it sounds. We actually utilize a special spray attachment to get our finish looking so nice just for us. And yes, this is the most expensive black finish option we found, but it is worth every penny.

Epik’s veneered cabinets needed to achieve the same kind of acoustical damping as with on our black textured subwoofers. To do this, we actually veneer the inside and outside of all veneered panels. Yes, you read that right. We veneer both sides to create a “sandwich” on both sides of the MDF. This helps to reduce vibrations and stabilizes the MDF core. We aren’t aware of anybody that does this in our industry, but it is just another thing that sets us apart.

Along with a double thickness front baffle, we complete our cabinets with a full 6” port with a patented port flare. When you are moving a lot of air, you have to ensure that the air flows completely unimpeded to eliminate port noise. We found that one large port always results in less internal surface area than multiple smaller ports even if they share the same surface area.

For example, our single 6 inch diameter port has the same area as four 3 inch diameter ports. However, it has exactly half the internal surface area as the multiple smaller ports. To achieve the same tuning, you also need to make the multiple smaller ports longer than our single port.

This translates into increased area for the air in the port to come into contact with. We arrive at the minimum amount of friction between the air and the port inside the tube with our single port tuning.  The result is reduced noise, less compression and better sound quality at any output level.

The cabinet is finished off with a fantastic CNC machined grill cover. Should you choose to cover up your driver and port, the grill provides a simple, attractive option for doing so. It is held in place by diminutive yet powerful fasteners.

The black acoustically transparent grill features a smooth rounded-edge frame design. We also routed custom-contoured scallops into the edges. It gives our subwoofers an extra touch of class, rather than just being a big ugly square frame with 90 degree edges.

Every detail of our hand-assembled cabinets represents hours of design work and the highest degree of quality possible. They are built in-house to incredibly high standards to make sure you experience nothing but the best bass performance that money can buy.
