Yet Another Box Building Thread

[_i0n_ 10+ year member]

I'm trying to figure this out on my own..forgive me for my misunderstandings.

Respectively, these are my dimensions I've come up with..they are loose, I am just trying to match my Qts accurately.

H=14

W=16

D2=4

D1=10

This is a wedge shaped-sealedbox. D2 obviously being the top depth dimension.

These measurements yield 0.58 cu ft .. which I know is a tad large, but I am compensating for some bracing. Probably going to rip the 3/4 MDF down to 1/2"(as I have a lot of stock to waste) and brace all the seams.

Sub Specifications:

Fs: 25 Hz • Magnet weight: 150 oz. • SPL: 86 dB 1W/1m • Vas: 3.00 cu. ft. • Qms: 3.12 • Qes: 0.58 • Qts: 0.49 • Xmax: 14.3 mm • Dimensions: Overall diameter: 12-3/8", Cutout diameter: 11-1/8", Depth: 5-3/8"

Lol..maybe I didn't reveal my question well enough:

Is this size proper?

Shameless bump

lol 150 views and nothing?

Can someone at least tell me I'm on the right path?

Thanks

What you have is a trapezoid to figure volume for a trapezoid:

First convert all your values to feet by dividing by 12.

volume = L * (b1 + (b2 - b1) * h1 / h + b1) * h1 / 2

In your case here are the values converted:

L= 16 = 1.334

h=14 = 1.167

h1=7 = .583

b1=4 =.333

b2=10 = .833

Google "calculate volume of a trapezoid" enter the values and you get:

.36 cu ft.

Your Vas: 3.00 cu. ft.

This is the size you want your box volume to be

Vas = Volume Air Space

at either .36 or .58 cu. ft. it is to small

I found this site very helpful:

Your dimensions need to be more like

H = 18"

L = 24"

D1 = 8"

D2 = 16"

Were talking a 12" sub here not a 6-1/2" woofer

which is the original dimensions you give for.
