Hi everyone.

Heres the deal. I Have not quite decided what speaker im going with. I want 2 12 inch but not sure if I can find ones that will operate in a rstricted cubic inch environment. So I may go with 10 inch. Unless you can give me some recomendations.

Anyway. I know how to calculate for a rectangle or wedge type box. But how do you calculate for the type of box that will fit in the tub in the back of an F-Body? It seems like theres a few different angles to deal with. Buy the way im going to go with a bass reflex (Ported0 style with two drivers.

Thanks

 

There are a lot of subs out there that are designed for small sealed enclosures.

Volume for a retangular enclosure is L*W*D (length * Width * Depth). Easiest calculation you'll ever do when figuring out volumes.

A wedge type box, or any other complicated type of box can be figured out by partitioning it into easy to calculate sections. A wedge box is nothing more than a box with a rectangular section and a triangular section. Calculate them separately and add the results.

For a triangle, it's L*W*D/2. Figure that if you put 2 of those triangles together, you'd wind up with a full rectangle.

This is tough to explain without pictures, but any geometry book or a google search should be able to help you out. There should be plenty of information out there about finding the area of a triangle, and to find the volume you just multiply the area by the depth.

Don't forget that if you're measuring in inches and you want cubic feet, you need to divide by 1728.
