Can someone help me design a box?
I just need to know the volume needed to obtain an optimally flat response -in car- for a sealed enclosure. that means calculated with cabin gain. I have a protege wagon if cabin size can be taken into account.
I just googled average interior volume of a car and hit wikiepedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_size_class Scroll down to USA regulations, small station wagon says under 130, over 120. Anyway. I have a mac and am too lazy to drag the pc laptop out of the closet and find some software for it. Here are the specs on my sub. I will be feeding it 300 watts. Here are the technical specs; Dual 4 ohm Revc = 7.8 Ohm Fo = 22.6 Hz Sd = 350.0 cm^2 Krm = 2.1538m Ohm Erm = 1.085 Kxm = 193.204m H Exm = 0.588 Vas = 71.3 Ltr Cms = 409.87u M/N Mmd = 129.248m Kg Mms = 133.013 g BL = 19.032 T.M Qms = 3.290 Qes = 0.37 Qts = 0.333 No = 0.22% SPLo = 85.36 dB Thanks in advance! |

I have a mac and don't have virtual PC, so I can't use any of the free software online.
|
try taking a look, thats an online version of winisd

Hey, that's some handy page!
Now I can finallt get rid of this ol'PC. WinISD was like the last reason to keep this PC up and running!! (Other audio/speaker stuff related MAc software hints are welcome, though!) Thanks, Paul |
Cabin gain is determined by the lengths of space inside the car, not volume. Give us the length and width of the internal cabin space and we can make a reasonable guess as to the cabin gain frequency.
Then you set F3 of the box to match this, with Qts dependent on sound preferences and length/width ratio of the cabin. |
It is a mazda protega wagon. Full length is probably 10-11ft, width is 5ft.
|
That will give you 51-57Hz to aim for with Qts in the range 0.65-0.8
|
thanks
