Calculating External Volume
1.) To calculate box volume, measure the outside Width x Height x Depth of
the enclosure. Example 12” x 14” x 9”=1512 ÷ 1728” Cubic feet
WARNING! 2.) Next you must convert cubic inches into cubic feet. To do this, you must

impair your ability to hear traffic sounds and emergency vehicles. Calculating Internal Volume
Use common sense when listening to your system. 1.) To calculate the internal (net) volume of the above box you must first multiply
the thickness of the wood you are using by Two(2). Example 3/4” x 2= 1.5“

12 - 1.5 = 10.5 14 - 1.5 = 12.5 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
Due to continuing product improvement, specifications and design are subject to change without notice.
3.) Multiple the new totals (H x W x D) Example: 10.5 x 12.5 x 7.5 = .5696
4.) Next you must convert cubic inches into cubic feet. To do this, you must
divide the cubic inch total by 1728”. Example 984.375 ÷ 1728=.5696
