Subtract it from the total volume .75 (thick) x height x width / 1728 then subtract from the total volume. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Example say your brace is 12 " x 12" x 3/4" = 108 / 1728 = 0.06 cuft if you enclosure was 1 cuft before the divider. It would be .94 after. Any help ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so without any bracing, accounting for the center divider (.75), it'd be 1.66 each after displacement right?

Uhh , let's see 3.41cuft internal after basket displacement. so

14 x 15 x .75 = 157.50 / 1728 = 0.09 so 3.41 - 0.09 = 3.32 / 2 = 1.66

So yep 1.66 cuft per side //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ok just checking. now time to calculate the bracing. that's gonna be a lil harder for me. (mind you i got off work 3 hrs ago and haven't slept since like yesterday morning).

mehh, sleeps highly over rated anways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i think i'm making it more complicated than it is esp with trying to figure out the bracing.

 

[ramos 5,000+ posts]

Pretty simple really . Now that you have the two chambers. Make identical bracing for each side. Figure the volume, then subtract it . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

common sense would tell me in order to calculate for each chamber seperate, i'd just half the internal measurements?

 

[ramos 5,000+ posts]

Your confusing yourself. Don't think of it as a whole anymore. Think of it as two identical enclosures. What you do to one, do to the other. you have two 1.66cuft enclosures. Figure bracing for one, then do the exact same thing to the other. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ok, so i got (.75 x7 x7.5/1728= 2(.02)=.04

1.66-.04=1.62

 

[ramos 5,000+ posts]

There ya go, same thing for the other side. Don't think so hard my brother //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thank you so much ramos and amr92. i appreciate the friendly help with so many newb questions. now just gotta make it a lil smaller. that's exactly why i didn't wanna attempt ported just yet. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 

[ramos 5,000+ posts]

Yeah man.

What do you need smaller external or internal ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

directly off the ss website: "0.75 - 1.5 cu ft, with the general consensus being that 1.0 - 1.2 cu ft net volume is ideal for a solid balance of low frequency extension and overall output"
