Recommended box
For a sedan, one sub, 450 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) | Tight and punchy · 0.78 |
|---|---|
| Fc | 56 Hz |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 54 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 12 5/8″ × 12 5/8″ × 8 5/8″ |
Ported
deeper, louder| Tuning (Fb) | 40 Hz |
|---|---|
| Port | 2 round ports Ø2 1/2″, 19 5/8″ long |
| Port velocity at 450 W | 103 ft/s |
| F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain) | 37 Hz |
| Example box (outside) | 22 9/16″ × 15 3/4″ × 7 1/16″ |
At 450 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 103 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 280 W. Full power needs a port of at least 12.6 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.
