Recommended box
For a sedan, one sub, 400 W. It’s the same math as the designer’s step-by-step mode, where you can fit the box to your space, vehicle and amp and get plans, a cut sheet and DXF.
Sealed
smaller, tighter| Bass character (Qtc) | Flat and accurate · 0.70 |
|---|---|
| Fc | 42 Hz |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 45 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 12 3/16″ × 12 3/16″ × 9 3/16″ |
Ported

|---|---|
| Port | round port Ø2 1/2″, 13″ long |
| Port velocity at 400 W | 184 ft/s |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 30 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 16 1/2″ × 15 3/4″ × 8 7/16″ |
At 400 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 184 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 75 W. Full power needs a port of at least 11.2 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.
