Alphasonik PSW312X, PSW310X owner manual 23-1.5=21.5

Calculating speaker enclosure volume is a five step procedure.

(Make sure you do not forget to subtract the thickness of the wood and port displacement that you used.)

Step One:

Measure Height

Step Two:

Measure Width

Step Three: Measure Depth

Step Four: Height x Width x Depth

Step Five: Divide the results in step four by 1728

(12" x 12" x 12"=1728 which equals to 1.0 cu ft.)

Complete formula should look like this

Height x Width x Depth / 1728 =__________

Below are illustrated versions of all the steps that you should take.

Left + Right=1.5

Top + Bottom=1.5

Front + Back=1.5

.75 x 2=1.50

13.5"

21.5 x 13.5 x 12=3483

3483 / 1728=2.01

2.01 cu. ft. is the result for this enclosure.

Formula to calculate port displacement

3.14 x Radius x Radius x Depth=

________ / 1728=port displacement

3.14 x 2.25 x 2.25 x7=111.27 sq. in.

111.27 / 1728=.06 is the displacement of the port

2.01 - 0.06=1.95 cu.ft. is the final result for this
