Recommended box
For a sedan, one sub, 600 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 · 0.74 |
|---|---|
| Fc | 51 Hz |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 52 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 12 5/8″ × 12 5/8″ × 8 5/8″ |
Ported
deeper, louder| Tuning (Fb) | 42 Hz |
|---|---|
| Port | 2 round ports Ø2 1/2″, 16 3/4″ long |
| Port velocity at 600 W | 130 ft/s |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 37 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 20 7/8″ × 15 3/4″ × 7 11/16″ |
At 600 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 130 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 230 W. Full power needs a port of at least 15.8 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.
