[QUOTE="Moble Enclosurs, post: 7498786, member: 634917"] No problem. Those are for that particular driver..no other. Just that one. There is no middle ground that I calculate for, but if you want to say middle ground, then the guy that mentioned 2.25cubic ft at 30-32Hz is great for a 12. Recommended box volume is usually 2-3.5X the cubic dimensions of the driver as a very very basic middle ground, with the port tuned accordingly. For example, a 12 inch driver with a depth of 6" will yield a minimum box volume of 1 cubic ft-1.75 cubic ft.then add the port. Smaller compression areas usually yield better (averaged) SQ. But no one usually goes by that. Everyone goes with the correct option of trying to design on a driver by driver basis. As far as learning as much as possible........well..........it has taken me over 10 years to get where I am now, effectively about 6. And most of it was based on trial and error and logging what happens when I make certain changes to a design and checking for scientific consistency of at least 3 proper responses for each change. And the rest is military and college training. SO, learning will be an adventure depending on how much you want to learn. With that said, I am excited for you!
