Recommended box

For a sedan, one sub, 2,000 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.

Net volume

Tuning (Fb)	35 Hz
Port	slot 1 9/16 × 14 5/16″, 39 5/8″ long
Port velocity at 2,000 W	127 ft/s
F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain)	32 Hz
Example box (outside)	31 1/2″ × 15 3/4″ × 9 1/4″

At 2,000 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 127 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 830 W. Full power needs a port of at least 35 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.

The volume and tuning are the recommendation, but the port doesn’t fit this example box. Size the box and port in the designer.
