Sealed or Closed Subwoofer Box Design Calculator

AJ Sealed Designer calculates the required sealed/closed enclosure parameters for woofers and subwoofers.

Where

Inputs
Vas	=	air volume equal equal to compliance of driver suspension
Qts	=	total driver Q at fs
fs	=	driver resonance frequency
Qtc	=	total system Q at fc
Calculated
Vb	=	net enclosure volume(internal)
f3	=	frequency where the 3 decibel power drop occurs
fb	=	box resonance frequency
dbpeak	=	system response maximum dip or peak

Input Parameters:

Notes:

• Theile Small parameters are required for input. These values can be found in the speaker's manual or on the manufacture's web site.
• For Qtc, choose a value between 0.1 and 2.0. A value between 0.5 and 1.2 gives the best results. Try varying this parameter to see how the size of the box and the frequency response can be changed.

	Theile/Small Parameters
Vas		liters
Qts		unitless
fs		Hz
	User Defined Parameter
Qtc		unitless

Calculated Values:

Notes:

• f3 is the most meaningful parameter. The lower the f3 parameter the deeper the bass will sound. An f3 below 50 Hz is suitable for a sealed enclosure. An value below of 40 hz gives the best results.
• Vb is the net size (volume) of the enclosure to be built. Generally, the lower the bass the larger the box.
• In the frequency response plot, the output SPL, sound pressure level, is based at 1 watt/meter.
