In this How2every step video I am going to show you how to design and size a ported subwoofer enclosure; to achieve a really nice sounding overall bass response with optimal gain between 30 to 60 Hz to provide a decent but sensible bass boom. I will use a free enclosure design software called WinISD, and show you the whole design process in 11 easy to follow steps:
Step 1 - Add the subwoofer driver into the WinISD driver database.
Step 2 - Create new WinISD project and analyse frequency response.
Step 3 - Determine Tuning Frequency
Step 4 - Determine the Box Volume
Step 5 - Determine the Port Size
Step 6 - Checking Cone Excursion
Step 7 - Check Group Delay
Step 8 - Theoretical SPL (Sound Pressure Level)
Step 9 - Calculate the enclosure & port dimensions.
Step 10 - Design Enclosure Parts
Step 11 - Produce Cutting List
Tools/Materials Required:
1: WinISD
2: Driver Parameters
3: Pen & Paper or CAD Software

you might mention that the slope on the low end if 6 db per octave per box order. so on the 4th order bass reflex project you show... people can notice that 6db x 4thorder = 24 db per octave slope. so at 9 minutes you see the peak at 36 and one octave lower, 18hz is -22db 24 db down. I often use this to suggest the subsonic filter at 1/2 octave below the peak, or where you are 12 db down. In this case 25hz range.

Fantastic video. I have a question though, for system input power we need to input the "RMS" and not the "Peak Power" ? wont this only give us a modelled rear wind velocity graph that gives us a port that should not cause chuffing only if it stays at or below the rms ? I might be a little confused about this because I have been modelling my subs (not building them) by inputting the peak power of the driver into winisd
@How2EveryStep
@How2EveryStep 5 ай бұрын
Thanks. Good question - it comes down to what amp power you are running. Generally you size your amp to match the subs RMS power, so no risk of over powering your subwoofer. I always size to the sub RMS or amp power, which ever is lower if you are on the limit of high air velocity causing chuffing... thanks How2everystep.com

And how did it turn out? I must admit at about the half way stage I was thinking of abandoning the "design it all myself" approach and instead finding some free or paid plan for my subwoofer, though that restricts me quite a bit in terms of driver choice. In the UK there doesn't seem to be as much choice as in the US (most self build videos assume we have access to parts express!)

Good stuff bro. Noticed you didn't touch on port length or end correction. Any chance of a follow-up on these? In terms of, if there a port length that is "too long" & is end correction already applied or does it need to be? Also, for larger builds, confined spaces & higher power applications, 17 m/s vent velocity is close to impossible in a lot of cases. Any advice on this? A lot of experienced members of the community mention 30 m/s as "acceptable" in such cases as stated above. Do you agree? Currently in search of end correction information with regards to winisd in particular.
@How2EveryStep
@How2EveryStep 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Aaron. Sorry for the late response. Hope this doesn't reach you after you sub box build? So WinISD takes into account end correction when it calculates the port length. So the port length displayed is the total length you physically make. As for vent velocity - 15ish m/s avoids chuffing with hardly any radius needed on the vent opening. You can go up to 30m/s but I would advise a large radius vent opening (around 2cm radius) to avoid chuffing. Don't forget the calculate port length is in addition to the radiused part of the port inorder to keep the calculated tuning frequency. Hope this helps?

Hi there. X-max is the distance the voice coil can travel from rest until it is out if the magnetic gap. X-mech is the distance the voice coil can move until it hits mechanical stops.

I also want to explore my options for adding an attached section for some mid/high speakers. My amps are currently mounted to the back of my seats, despite my very clear request to not be mounted there. I would like to get some info on what methods work for building Amp racks.

And any size box.. if you lengthen the port it tunes it lower..if you stick with any port dia and length.. if you increase box size..you tune lower.. if keep box the same and port length the same.. if you increase port dia..it tunes higher..thats all that matters. YES..IF ANY 2 VARIABLES ARE KNOWN. the box can be tuned with the last variable.. throw away your computer.. all you need is tone generator and no filters or eq involved.. play flat sweep into amp and watch the driver. Where it stops moving is tuned freq.. yes includes variables in vehicle the stupid math doesnt account for.

Hi David. Thanks for your extensive reply. Indeed there are 2 physical sizing variables: port and box volume. Unfortunately the 2 volumes directly interact, due to the port volume occupying more or less volume inside the box volume. Hence, the video method shows how to tweak the 2 variables to achieve the required tuning frequency. Quite often (specially in car builds) the sub box max volume is set by the available max external dimensions, so at least this guides the iteration process. Thanks How2everystep.com
