Today our Car Parts & Accessories Review focuses on the Vibe audio Liteair Compact Enclosures
Vibe Liteair Compact Enclosure
Liteair Loaded
Small, lightweight and powerful the LiteAir Compact active enclosures are designed to allow LiteAir subwoofers to achieve their maximum performance, whilst taking up minimal space.
Available in 8” or 12” models, LiteAir Enclosures can provide bass enhancement in even the tightest of spaces.
a) A Fiberglass Kevlar Cone is both lightweight and extremely rigid, offering superior sound reproduction.
b) The rubber gasket helps to create a perfect seal between the subwoofer and the enclosure..
c) The LiteAir’s inverted surround offers extended low frequency response to give even greater bass performance.
d) A dual progressive poly-glass spider ensures control and stability of the woofers cone with high power handling, whilst also helping to minimize weight.
e) The angular torsion basket provides rigidity and support for the motor and moving parts of the subwoofer. The 3 vented arms of the torsion basket cradle the coil and allow it to breathe cool air when in motion.
f) The Rubber Magnet Boot provides protection for the magnet to ensure a long product lifespan.
Tight Bass
VIBE Audio’s patented PressureWedgeTM 2 design creates internal pressure to assist cone control and enhance enclosure porting for tighter, controlled bass. Designed to mount either away from or facing the passenger compartment with a small footprint, the LiteAir Compact Enclosures can be used in almost any application.
VIBE’s revolutionary Anti Resonance Bass Support System (A.R.B.S.S.) eliminates unwanted vibrations for more defined bass, whilst the built in Box Grip carry handle makes it easy to remove the enclosure for when you need extra space in your luggage compartment.
The LiteAir Compact Enclosures have mastered the art of achieving massive performance from the smallest of enclosures.
Turbo Port
The Vented12 Enclosure features dual flared VIBE TurboPorts for smoother airflow and cleaner bass.
The supplied PortPlug allow for 3 different variable tuning options giving a quick conversion from either a high or low tuned bass reflex design to a sealed enclosure.

Big Sound, Small Package
The LiteAir Compact Enclosures contain the VIBE PowerBox Bass 1, a lightweight Class AB mono bass amplifier with a separate power amp for superior sound quality.
Combined with the new extruded aluminum heatsink this also ensures efficient dispersion of heat. MOSFET Power allows high switching speeds and even greater stability than other FETs to improve overall performance.
Fiberglass Kevlar Cone
Every component of the LiteAir enclosure has been chosen to specifically minimize weight without compromising on performance. Fiber Kevlar is used for the LiteAir’s subwoofer cone, which is lightweight but extremely rigid for excellent bass reproduction.
Remote Gain
The included remote control can be used to adjust frequency and gain, allowing you to tune the system from your listening position without having to continually adjust settings on the amplifier.
A.R.B.S.S.
VIBE’s patented A.R.B.S.S. (Anti Resonance Bass Support System) helps to reduce vibrations and enclosure resonance. Anti-VIBE feet further deaden vibrations ensuring bass is the only thing you hear.
