Calculating Speaker Enclosure VolumeAs you already know, for speakers (especially woofers) to work properly, they must be in the proper size enclosure. The manufacturer can give you the required enclosure volume but can't give the exact dimensions of an enclosure that will work in all vehicles. So that you can build an enclosure of the proper size for your vehicle, this page will explain how you calculate the total volume of the enclosure.
Magic number: OK... It's not magic but the number is 1728. If you forget it, just remember that the number is 12 inches * 12 inches * 12 inches. 12*12*12=1728.
Square or Rectangular Enclosures: These boxes are the easiest to calculate the internal volume. You simply measure the height, width and depth (in inches), multiply them together and then divide that number by 1728. If the box has internal measurements of 6" high*18" wide*12" deep then the volume of the box is 1296/1728=.75 ft^3. The diagram below shows how you would measure the dimensions of the box.
Warning: Use the following calculators at your own risk. Since I've never seen two port calculators that would give the exact same port length for a given box volume and tuning frequency, the port calculations from this calculator will probably be slightly different than other calculators. Do not spend large sums of money on exotic enclosure materials until the enclosure has been fully tested with a simple MDF enclosure.
If you want to compensate for the volume taken up by the woofer, you can use the following approximations. Keep in mind that these are for 'normal' woofers. If you're using a competition woofer with a huge frame and magnet structure, refer to the manufacturer for the actual displacement volume of the woofer. Even if you're not using competition woofers, most high quality manufacturers provide this spec in the woofer's datasheet.
8 inch | .03 ft3 | 10 inch | .05 ft3 | 12 inch | .07 ft3 | 15 inch | .10 ft3 |
