Minature subwoofer

[Vatos]

Can some help me with the cabinet for a minature subwoofer for this driver SPP-165S from Monacor (details below).

My dad wants a small sub to supplement his surroundspeakers and this quality is good enough for him.

Please someone with some software can you calculate a good vented box for me ??

SPP-165S


HiFi bass-midrange speaker, 50WMAX, 8 Ohm
Speakers without magnetic interference, equipped with additional compensation magnets and screen cover, to be used also next to monitors, magnetic tapes, magnetic cards, etc.
With stable polypropylene cone, drilled pole core, and rubber surround, linear wide frequency response in compact cabinets, for miniature subwoofers, e.g. in active multimedia systems and of course for powerful 2-way combinations.

Hi Vatos, I don't know what you consider small, but one solution is a box of 28.4 litres internal volume (1 cu ft), ie 12 x 12 x 12 inches, tuned with a vent to 40hz using a vent flared on both ends of 50mm I.D. and 110mm long.
This will give you a cut-off of 40hz (-3dB)
A simple vent, flush on the outside (ie a simple carboard tube) will need to be 50mm I.D and 85mm long.

Hope this helps.
