Measure maximum possible dimensions

Multiply wall thickness by 2

Subtract this from each dimension to
arrive at Gross Internal Dimensions

Deduct Vf (volume of the speaker frame)

from Gross 

 Volume

Braces?

Calculate brace volume and deduct

from Gross Internal Volume

Divide 

 by 61.03

You are at Net Internal Volume

in cubic inches 

Divide 

 by 1728

l 

Determine the dimensions 

of your enclosure.

l 

Be certain the box you have designed will fit into the location you have

chosen.

Sometimes making a cardboard box with the same outside

dimensions is helpful.

l 

Use 

 inch thick Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) or High Density

Particleboard. It is preferable to cut the wood with a table saw to ensure

straight, even joints. If a table saw is not available, a circular saw is
acceptable.

l 

Use a 

 square to verify precise right angle gluing.

Use a high quality wood glue and air nails or wood screws to assemble the

enclosure. Elmer’s@ woodworker’s glue and 

 work well. To

guarantee an airtight box, seal each inside joint with RTV silicone glue.

For Sealed Enclosures, stuff the chamber with 

 filling (approximately

1.5 pounds per cubic foot) of fiberglass insulation or Dacron@.

For Vented Enclosures, staple 1 inch thick fiberglass insulation or Dacron to

all walls of the enclosure except the baffle to which the woofer is mounted.

Use the supplied gasket to seal the woofer in the enclosure and eight(8) wood

screws or T-nuts and bolts. Progressively tighten each of the bolts or screws

to prevent warping the woofer frame.

Use slide-on connectors to attach speaker wires. Do not solder wires to the

provided terminals as this may cause damage to the factory wire connection.

This may also void the speaker’s warranty.

The following designs include a variety of enclosure sizes and types. Each

design has two frequency response curves; one showing predicted “In-Car”

response, and the other showing “Half-Space Anechoic” (out-of-car) frequency
response. The performance difference between the two curves is a result of the

natural acoustics of an “average” automotive environment. This “average”

transfer function is only an approximation of what you may expect to see in your
car. Every car is different. Each curve was generated using 2.0 Volts across
paralled voice coils (2 

 and measured at 1 meter. Also, each frequency

response curve includes a 12 

 low pass filter at 100 Hz. The response

curves can help you visualize relative performance differences between
designs. Read through the descriptions given for each enclosure and select the
one that suits your needs.

Remember: all suggested enclosure volumes are Net, and DO NOT include

woofer, port, and bracing displacement!
