*We provide Theile/Small Parameters for those interested in studying subwoofers further. We do not recommend you use computer software to determine enclosure size or type. While high-end enclosure design software may be useful for preliminary engineering purposes, it cannot completely predict performance in a given vehicle and should not replace a real enclosure that has been tested and listened to in a car. The best a computer screen can do is give you a visual representation of what something sounds like. Please use our recommended enclosures for optimum performance.
