CALCULATING ENCLOSURES
It is difficult to give exact box dimensions that are universal for all cars and trucks. It
is for this reason that you must be able to calculate the space in which you have
available in order to achieve the proper air volume required.
It is recommended to build your enclosure from 3/4" thick MDF (medium density
fiberboard). Make sure the enclosure is sealed airtight.
Calculating External Volume
1.) To calculate box volume, measure the outside Width x Height x Depth of the
enclosure. Example12"x14"x9"=1512".
2.) Nextyoumustconvertcubicinchesintocubicfeet. Todothis, youmust
dividethecubicinchtotalby1728". Example1512÷1728=.875Cubicfeet
CalculatingInternalVolume
1.) To calculate the internal (net) volume of the above box you must first multiply
the thickness of the wood you are using by Two (2).Example 3/4" x 2 = 1.5".
2.) Nextsubtract1.5fromeachoftheoutsidemeasurementsofthebox.
