Building An Enclosure

Calculating enclosure volumes is simple we are going to give you the mathematical equation of how to calculate the enclo-

sure that you intend to build.  If you were to build an enclosure your mathematical equation should look like this  

HEIGHT x 

WIDTH x DEPTH / 1728 = ____________ Box volume.

  Do not forget to subtract the thickness of the wood that you have 

selected to use.  The most common material used would be ¾”MDF (medium density fiberboard).

EXAMPLE:

 

 

If you were to build a one cubic foot enclosure and you have chosen to use ¾” MDF material your outside 

dimensions would equal 13.5” Height x 13.5” Width x 13.5 Depth. Then you would subtract 1.5” from your Height, Width, and 

Depth.  The reason you would subtract 1.5” instead of 0.75” is that you are subtracting the wood on booth sides front and 

back, left and right, and top and bottom.  So the internal dimensions are 12” Height x 12” Width x 12” Depth.  The math-

ematical equation would be 

12 HEIGHT x 12 WIDTH x 12 DEPTH / 1728 = 1 CUBIC FOOT.

  Although we used a perfectly square enclosure for this 

example.  The enclosure does not have to be square.  The enclosure can be any shape that is preferred.  

NOTE:

  Do not forget to subtract your woofers displacement.  After you have subtracted the woofers displacement your 

enclosure would become smaller than 1 cubic foot.  This mathematical equation is in inches and should be converted if 

needed.
