    Calculate Enclosure Volume






Check if your speaker is suited for use in a sealed or vented enclosure

  Box Front Angle = Degrees Grad
  Gross Box Volume = Ft3 Liter
  Net Box Volume = Ft3 Liter
 

The angle at the top and bottom of the enclosure (inside) is: 180° - 'Box Front Angle'.

If the Box Front Angle is 24 degrees, the inside angle is ( 180° - 24° ) 156 degrees.






This calculator will calculate the proper port length for a given box volume at the desired port tuning frequency.

This program automatically subtracts the port volume from the internal box volume. You can not have a port length shorter than the thickness of the wood that you're using.

The port length must be short enough to allow a clearance of the port's diameter between the end of the port and the wall of the box. If you're using a 3 inch port, allow at least 3 inches between the back end of the port and any wall of the enclosure.

If the port length is negative, the tuning frequency needs to be lower or the port diameter needs to be smaller.

If you want to use square ports, use a port who's height multiplied by its width equals the 'port area' on the calculator. The port length will be the same as the round port.

If you have or need an enclosure with all right angles (no slanted sides) set depth 1 and depth 2 to the same value.



Error messages
'Gross' volume is the internal volume of the enclosure before the port volume is subtracted. If you're using external dimensions and you set the wood thickness to something other than '0', the wood thickness will be subtracted.



'Net' volume is the internal volume after the port volume is subtracted from the gross volume.
