Subwoofer Box Volume by Driver Size, Count and Alignment

Pick your driver size, how many you are running and which alignment you want. Each page gives a typical net volume range, the alignment equation that produces the real figure, and a worked example. The range is a planning convention; your driver manufacturer publishes the number that governs.
