HUNTINGTON BEACH CA (04.29.26) This is a highly immersive fabrication environment where attendees will actively participate in building and testing multiple enclosure designs throughout the course.

Participants will:

• Design and model multiple subwoofer enclosure configurations
• Build and assemble multiple working enclosures
• Test and evaluate output performance and efficiency across different designs
• Compare acoustic response characteristics in real-time using measurement tools

In previous training sessions, over 25 different enclosure designs were built and tested, providing participants with direct exposure to how design variables affect output, response, and efficiency.

Performance validation is conducted using Term-PRO measurement systems, allowing attendees to analyze real output data and refine design decisions based on measurable results.

Industry Collaboration & Equipment Access

This training is co-sponsored by DB Drive, Trulli Audio, and Exile Audio, whose contributions in providing amplifiers, drivers, and system components help support a fully hands-on, production-level training environment.

Attendees will work directly with supplied equipment throughout the course, gaining real-world experience tuning and evaluating systems under load.

As part of the testing program, participants will also evaluate the performance of the new Trulli Audio TD-19 19-inch subwoofer platform, installed and tested in multiple enclosure configurations under controlled conditions.

Training Environment

This is a high-intensity fabrication and design workshop, not a lecture-based course.

Attendees should expect:

• Active CNC machining and woodworking
• Full enclosure assembly and fabrication work
• Continuous measurement and testing cycles
• Collaborative design iteration sessions

Work clothing is strongly recommended, as the environment is production-focused and involves extensive hands-on fabrication.

Key Learning Outcomes

By the end of the training, participants will have practical experience in:

• Designing high-efficiency subwoofer enclosures from scratch
• Controlling airflow, port tuning, and acoustic response
• Translating CAD designs into CNC-ready production files
• Building and testing multiple enclosure systems
• Interpreting real performance data to refine design decisions
• Improving consistency and repeatability in fabrication workflows

Event Details & Registration

The training will take place at Automotive Entertainment OC’s Huntington Beach facility from May 1–3, 2026.

Due to the hands-on nature of the program, seating is strictly limited to ensure direct instructor access and workshop efficiency.

Registration is now open.
