Installation and cabinet guidance
Allow a 236 mm panel opening for a 255 mm frame, with 6 mm fixing holes on a 247 mm circle. Behind the panel the driver needs about 102 mm of clear depth for the basket and the 100 mm magnet, with room beyond that for the terminals and the wiring. It can be mounted from the front or the rear of the panel, so settle which side you are working from before cutting the fixing holes.
At 1.5 kg this is a substantial driver, so use a rigid, well braced baffle with a continuous gasket or sealing strip between the frame and the panel, and tighten the fixings evenly and only enough to seal so the frame is not distorted. With ±10 mm of travel available, check that the cone and the surround stay clear of the grille and of any internal bracing at full excursion. The terminals take 4.8 x 0.8 mm blades on the positive side and 2.8 x 0.8 mm on the negative, so blade width identifies polarity; observe it and use an amplifier or crossover suited to the 8 Ω load.
Visaton's published enclosure suggestions for this driver: 30 l bass reflex with one BR 15.34 port cut to 11 cm (fb 46 Hz); 50 l bass reflex with one BR 15.34 port cut to 9 cm (fb 38 Hz); 70 l bass reflex with one BR 15.34 port cut to 8 cm (fb 38 Hz).
