Dear All,
I am sure some of you can solve this in your head, but I don't know how to
do this.
I have a box that I need to solve the interior volume for.
The side of the box has four sides. The base is 10-7/8", the one side that
is at a 90 degree angle to the base in 4" high, the other two lengths are
10" and 10-1/2". The box is 8-7/8" wide and the material is 3/4" MDF.
What is my interior volume?
This box is for a subwoofer and I know the range that the box can fall
within, 1/3 cubic foot to 3/4 cubic foot. I was aiming for the high side,
and I hope I am close.
Thanks for your help,
David.

That helps a lot.
Measure the inside of the bottom part where you can picture a regular
box.
Volume 1.
pretend the angled part at the top iis another box on top of that, then
divide volume by 2 to get volume 2
Add the two numbers.
You'll be close.

On a serious note, try locating a large paperback named "Mathematics
Made Easy". Cost is around $8 or so. It covers all manner of math
problems, questions and formulas that assist with everyday stuff.
Answers are all in the back. Good book.
LOL.... 6" That ain't a Sub Woofer... That's more of a mid range
speaker...;~)

Sure can but they are not putting out near as much power as they (or the
manufacturer) claim. I spent a fair amount of time going over the numbers
some time back from several different manufacturers. Their claimed output
power just could not have been true. In a lot of cases, the claimed output
power exceeded the input.

Dear Leon,
> How are you going to put a 15" speaker into such a small box?
Umm, it will not be a 15" sub, I do not have the space.
This is for my 2003 Ford Ranger extended cab pickup. I didn't want to use up
the entire back of the cab, I wanted to extend the centre console and put a
sub in there that wouldn't interfere with the jump seats or front seat
movement, reclining.
The sub I am using is a Kicker Solo Baric 8" sub, it is square, so in effect
it sounds and acts larger than it's 8" size would suggest. The sub will be
driven by a 350 watt RMS Alpine mono amp. This was the best set-up I could
come up with, given my limited space
I have to finish it this weekend, the sub, speakers and amps are being
installed on Tuesday. I will post pics if you really wanna know.
Thanks,
David.

In the picture, you can see the base of the side facing the camera, (the
face bottom edge on my bench), that edge is 10-7/8". The only right angle on
the side of the box is on the left, coming up from the base, that left edge
in 4". The edge that the speaker in sitting on is 10-1/2". The right edge
coming up from the base, the one with my speed square beside it is 10".
The depth, or width of the box, along the dimension where the clamps are is
8-7/8".
I am sure there are math terms for these measurements defining sides of an
irregular polygon [I think that is what I am making :).], but I don't think
I ever knew them...
Is this enough info to understand the shape of the box?

David.

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Length multiplied by Width gives you the area of the bottom of the box in
square units - as in square inches.
Multiply that number by the Height to find the Volume in cubic units - as in
cubic inches.

Ah. OK. Sorry. The picture helps a lot.
Visually, divide your speaker housing into TWO boxes.
The rectangular one on the bottom - compute volume as already described.
The triangular box - for lack of a better term - on the top - compute the
area using the same formula - then divide the result by 2.
Add the two volumes together to get the total volume.

Been a long time since I used some of the math needed. Section it and it
will be much easier to do each portion.
If all else fails, fill it with sawdust. Then measure how much sawdust by
pouring it into a known measure.

Volume of bottom, rectangular solid part is length x width x height = volume
1
volume of prism-shaped top = length x width x height/2 = volume 2
total volume = volume 1 + volume 2
1 cubic foot = 12x12x12 cubic inches

Your dimensions are for the outside of the box, yes? And you need the
interior airspace volume, not including the MDF walls, right?
I get .199 cubic feet... 343.27 cubic inches... Drew it in Autocad to get
the area of the side...
If the dimensions you gave were for the inside of the box and not the
outside... .363 ft cubed, or 627.4 inches cubed...
