team ia,

Can you recommend enclosure size and tuning so my warden 12" will have the flattest response so i can listen to wide varity of music from rap, rnb to techno, trance and house.

i think it has alot to do with ur vehicle...not just the box.

Also has alot to do with the woofer.

For some reason, I doubt the Warden is a real good choice for a flat response system.

You probably bought the wrong subwoofer for your desired application.

SPL woofers generally have a peaky response. Thats why they are so popular they get louder, but are not the most musical.

I am curious to see how it would sound. Someone post the t/s and I will work up the enclosure.

see: 12" Warden T/S Specs - SSA Car Audio Forum

The suspension is hella tight with a VAS of 11.97 liters, so the enclosure would be tiny for a flat responce. Here is what I came up with using algebric equations, and term pro was close as well.

enclosure would need to be: 8.12 liters or .28 cubic feet

tuning : 53 hertz

F3 would be around 56 hertz

Meaning flat response with a roll off at 56 hz. not good for a sub lol

Dont forget the port length! about +100cm!

:-O

Freakin TINY

Good example of why we don't use box calculators for Wardens

I never use a box calculator first, only use term pro to verify my equations. The equations used are ones by Don Keele. derived from T/S parameters to create the optimal flat esponce ported enclosure using the air compliance and resonate frequency of the subwoofer. They are pretty well known equations.

VB=(15)(Vas)(Qts^2.87)

F3=.26(Fs)/(Qts^1.4)

Fb=.42(Fs)/(Qts^.9)

Lv=(((1.463)(10^7)(r^2))/((Fb^2)vbin)))-1.463r

golden ratio=(2d)(3d)(5d)

The issue isn't the equations.

Right the issue is the application. It just ain't gonna happen

I second that.

I use TermPro as well and have always had a pleasing result.

But, some subwoofers just are not mechanically engineered to produce a flat response on the graph.

(I hate the phase but,) It is what it is...and it's not really a SQ subwoofer IMO.
