Abstract
Your job is to design and construct a loudspeaker enclosure of a prescribed type (sealed box,
bass reflex, labyrinth, damped pipe with constant cross-section, or damped pipe with tapering)
and measure its performance. Compare and contrast both the expected and the measured
performance of your design vs. the other enclosure types. Finally, suggest possible improvements
that could be made in a second iteration of your design.

10.0 Enclosure Design

11.0
12.0 Describe the results obtained using ajdesigner
13.0
14.0 Outline:
15.0
describe the type of enclosure you constructed and the rationale for choosing it over other
potential choices
16.0
list the components you selected for your design and the rationale underlying your choices
17.0
list your woofers relevant small signal parameters
18.0
for sealed box designs, describe the rationale for your choice of Qts; for vented enclosures,
describe the rationale for your choice of alignment (SBB4, QB3, or SC4) and your choice of
port diameter (Dp)
19.0
copy and paste the ajdesigner box calculator results (box dimensions) and describe how
close your finalized (constrained) design is to the golden ratio (unconstrained dimensions
determined by ajdesigner)
20.0
list the calculated parameters determined by ajdesigner: Vb (box volume), Fb (box
resonance), F3 (-3 dB half power frequency), and Lp (length of port vented designs only)
21.0
copy and paste the LF (woofer) frequency response curve predicted by ajdesigner
22.0
describe how well the response curve predicted by ajdesigner matches the measured
response curve
