Box plan
Outside box dimensions. Enter the clear space available, allowing room for cables and loading through the boot opening.
This checks the outer box only. Check woofer depth, cut-out, rear clearance and port space before cutting wood. The dashed opening is a port concept only: its size and position are not calculated. A ported box still needs a complete port design.
Optional panel list · sealed boxes
Simple butt joints: full-size top/bottom; front/back between them; sides between front/back. Sizes exclude saw kerf. No driver hole, bracing or double baffle is specified. Verify joints and clearances with your installer.
Check my existing box
Enter outside dimensions of a rectangular box.
Subtract the parts inside the box. Enter your estimate if unmeasured.
Uniform wall thickness. Check woofer and port fit against the drawing.

Car settings
Starts with favourable sedan/SUV conditions: good bass transfer into the cabin and no added boot loss.
Increase this for a closed boot that blocks bass above 60 Hz.
Dashed lines show the van estimate. It is provisional, not based on measurements of your vehicle.

Common questions
What size box do I need for a 12-inch subwoofer?
There is no single answer, because box size follows the driver's Thiele-Small parameters rather than its cone diameter. The two 12-inch subwoofers in this tool want very different boxes: the SB34SWNRX-S75-6 sits at 39 litres sealed, the SB34SWPL76-4 at 18.5 litres. Each also works across a range rather than at one point — 24.8 to 67.5 litres and 11.8 to 32 litres respectively — and in both cases less than 2 Hz of F3 separates the smallest box from the largest. Choose the driver first, then take the volume from its card and check it against your boot.
Sealed or ported — which should I build?
A sealed box is smaller, simpler, and has no port to design or get wrong. A ported box plays lower for the same driver, but needs considerably more space and a verified port layout. On the SB34SWNRX-S75-6 the gap is large: 39 litres sealed reaches an F3 of 43.4 Hz, while 75.1 litres tuned to 19 Hz reaches 26.4 Hz. Nine of the ten woofers here are suitable for a ported box; the SW26DBAC76-4 is sealed only. This tool gives outside dimensions for a ported box but does not calculate port size or position.
How much power does a car subwoofer need?
Match the amplifier to the driver's rating rather than to a headline number. The ten subwoofers here are rated from 80 W to 300 W RMS, and the calculator starts each one at 100 W or its rating, whichever is lower. Past a certain point extra watts stop buying extra output: the simulation limits cone movement to the driver's rated excursion, and the chart marks where that limit is reached.
Why does the suggested box look too big for a car?
The figure shown first is the balanced alignment, which is the middle of three. Every woofer card also offers a smaller and a larger box, with the F3 of each, so you can see what a smaller box actually costs. On the SW26DBAC76-4, halving the box from 40 to 20.2 litres moves F3 by 1.4 Hz. Use “Will it fit my boot?” to enter the clear space you have and get outside dimensions that fit it.

| Sealed | Deeper bass | 1.62 ft³ / 45.9 L | — | 0.577 | 62.9 Hz | 43.3 Hz |
| Ported | Small box | 1.03 ft³ / 29.1 L | 23 Hz | — | 51.2 Hz | 40.6 Hz |
| Ported | Balanced | 1.47 ft³ / 41.5 L | 20 Hz | — | 50.2 Hz | 36.6 Hz |
| Ported | Deeper bass | 2.05 ft³ / 58.1 L | 17 Hz | — | 54.1 Hz | 34.9 Hz |
F3 / F6 are enclosure-only estimates before cabin gain, the 20 Hz filter or travel limiting. Qtc applies to sealed boxes. Suggested means a starting point, not universally best.
