Building An Enclosure
Now that you have an understanding of how to calculate an enclosure with equal top and bottom dimensions, we will show
you how to calculate the volume of an enclosure with unequal dimensions (
Wedged Enclosure
). Since the top and
bottom (or sides) are of unequal lengths, measure each length (i.e. Top is 7” and bottom is 9”) and add them together for a
total of 16”. Dividing this by 2 gives the number to use for both top and bottom lengths (or sides, etc.) The process is
similar to an enclosure with equal dimensions with the exception of an added equation. The complete formula will look
like this:
Height x Width x {(Top + Bottom) / 2 = Depth} / 1728 = _______
EXAMPLE
The external dimensions of a 1 cubic foot enclosure are 13.5” height x 13.5” width x (11.5” top depth x 15.5” bottom
depth). First calculate the top and bottoms depth measurements. We have chosen to use .75” MDF making the internal
dimensions 12” height x 12” width x (10” top depth x 14” bottom depth). Add the top and bottom depth then divide by 2
{(10 + 14) / 2 = 12}. Now calculate the enclosure’s volume:
(Height 12” x Width 12” x Depth 12”) / 1728 = 1 cubic foot
Black= Height
Red= Width
Blue= Depth
