Calculating your enclosure volume:

Internal dimensions

Height (inches) x Width (inches) x Depth (inches) = Gross Internal Volume (cubic inches)

Gross Internal Volume (cubic inches)

= Gross Internal Volume (cubic feet)

1728

or:

Height (cm) x Width (cm) x Depth (cm)

= Gross Internal Volume (liters)

1000

Conversion Formulas
