Recommended box
For a sedan, one sub, 800 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 · 0.72 |
|---|---|
| Fc | 55 Hz |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 57 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 12 3/16″ × 12 3/16″ × 8 15/16″ |
Ported
deeper, louder| Tuning (Fb) | 47 Hz |
|---|---|
| Port | 2 round ports Ø2 1/2″, 14 7/16″ long |
| Port velocity at 800 W | 150 ft/s |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 40 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 16″ × 15 3/4″ × 8 7/8″ |
At 800 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 150 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 240 W. Full power needs a port of at least 18.2 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.
