Online Subwoofer Enclosure Calculator for a 4-Chamber Enclosure with Two Drivers

On this page you are able to calculate an advanced speaker enclosure with Thiele/Small parameter. Diagrams are calculated for frequency response, step response, group delay, voice-coil impedance, velocity of diaphragm and of air in port, as well as displacement of diaphragm and air in ports.

Again, you can design an individual loudspeaker enclosure at the following form. You can leave out chambers, vents and one driver, so that you get the simplest closed box possible. The "Start Window" shows an example of a two-way bassbox in an infinity baffle. This subwoofer box design doesn't need a crossover.

Request for comment: In order to check or improve this simulation, I would be pleased to get measurements of any diy speakers with three or more chambers.

Thiele Small Parameter

Attention: You can put in your own Thiele/Small-parameter only if the speaker-select "parameterinput" is selected. You can change the polarity of the speaker if you make the electrical input power Pe positive or negative.
