Speaker-Enclosure Volume Calculator
- Size of the enclosure is important. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for the proper speaker-box volume to accommodate your speakers and the size of your vehicle's interior. For the proper sound in our vehicle, the recommended volume for each enclosure was 0.8 cubic feet.
- To ascertain the proper dimensions and volume for your project, you can use the online volume-calculator below.
- Volume Calculator - Rectangular/Square Enclosures
Measure the outside dimensions of your enclosure and the material thickness, then enter the numbers below to calculate interior volume.
Note: If you used dividers and/or braces, the volume of each divider/brace will need to be subtracted from the interior volume.
- Vented Box or Sealed Box?
- When installing a subwoofer and enclosure, consider the type of music you'll be listening to.
- For standard fare and most rock-music genres, and allowing for loud volumes, a sealed box may be preferable.
- A sealed box contains the sound and forces most of the sound frequencies to be transmitted via the speaker cones, resulting in a "punchier" sound.
- For bass-heavy styles like hip-hop, dub, dance or trance, you may want to consider a vented box.
- The vented box allows for fuller, deeper-sounding bass by enabling the bass-frequency sound waves more time to expand before they reach your ears.
