Enter your subwoofer's data (called Thiele-Small parameters) in the various input boxes. This data should be available from the manufacturer of the woofer, or you may be able to find it online. The box parameters and graphs will update as you alter the input data. Hover your mouse cursor over the input boxes and along the graph lines to see helpful pop-up notes and detailed information. Note: the Adobe Flash web browser plugin is needed to see the bass box calculator.
We have compared this calculator with results calculated by our reference PC-based software. While there are differences, this AJ Design software seems reliable. When compared with results from our reference, this one seems to generally calculate the F3 to be 5 to 10Hz lower. Fb appears to correlate quite closely.
We offer this online calculator freely for your use but we cannot accept responsibility for inaccurate calculations and would always recommend you visit a professional installer for best results. We also offer a Pro Bass Box Design service at low cost - we use our more advanced software to create a complete set of build drawings. Click on the link to find out more.
