Question Need basic design for 12" sealed enclosure

Hi,

I am looking for plans for a sealed enclosure for a DB Drive PT12D4

1.5 cu ft sealed. it has to fit in a sunfire trunk, so as long as it isn't ridiculously tall it should be fine. If anyone has any suggestions for software i would love to try it out too.

thanks

Serious.

1.5cu.ft = 2592 Cu.in internal volume. SO whetever the number you get, add 1.5" for the wood to the external measurement.

ex. If the box is 12" tall (internal) thenn you take the cu.in number and divide by 12.


2592/12=216

Now way you want the box 14.5" wide internal Divide the remainder by 14.5

216/14.5=14.9 This would be your depth in inches.

So Externally the box would be 14.5" Tall, 16" wide and 16.4 (16 and 3/8" deep)

Now that we've done the grade 8 math lesson for today let's discuss flowers ..

Use 3/4 MDF.

You can place the woofer anywhere it fits technically,
