[QUOTE="Mr Cabinetry, post: 4540498, member: 571490"] Here we go again. There been many topic's/threads created about this very issue to which various opinions have been formed and discussed at great length. Though it may appear the consensus leans towards that none of the calculators online accurately provide or fall within what would be consider a tolerable level of error between them as to what is a " recommended enclosure " vs using a calculator to confirm that recommendation as correct. Unless you are using the same method of calculation or program the subwoofer company used to design the enclosure, you are going to end up with the discrepancies you discovered. Therefore, you two choices, use the recommended enclosure as prescribed and ignore the minor discrepancies the calculator is presenting or use the calculator as such to the spec's stated which you will arrive at a totally different design from the company. Keep in mind as well that not all calculators allow for the same input variables which can cause such discrepancies in the design. Basically, it comes down to faith, which program or method of calculation are willing to accept as the " right one ". [/QUOTE]
