In this case, we are using a 4-inch port, and it’s outside diameter measures
4.5 inches. Due to thickness of port material, you will need to measure the
outside diameter of the vent, and use this for calculation. The radius will be
exactly half of the outside diameter. In the formula for vent volume, length
represents the measure for the port that is inside the enclosure. For our
example the vent volume goes like this:

Volume of a cylinder = 3.14 x Radius x Radius x Length
|
Volume =
|
3.14 x Radius x Radius x Length |
|
Radius =
|
4.5 x .5 = 2.25 inches |
|
Length =
|
11.5 - .75 = 10.75 |
|
V =
|
3.14 x 2.25 x 2.25 x 10.75 |
|
V =
|
170.98 cubic inches |
Now we have obtained both speaker basket and vent displacement. When calculating we multiply the speaker and vent displacements by the number of each being used. Subtracting these from the enclosure volume, total usable volume yields
|
Usable airspace
|
=
|
Enclosure volume - speaker(s) volume - vent(s) volume |
|
=
|
8792.438 - (2 x 209) - (2 x 170.98) | |
|
=
|
8032.478 cubic inches | |
Finally, we convert this figure into cubic feet.
|
V |
=
|
8032.478 / 1728 |
|
V =
|
4.648 cubic feet | |
Since we are using two speakers in this enclosure, it is necessary to divide the total usable volume by two
Volume per speaker = 4.648 / 2
V = 2.324 cubic feet per speaker.

A cylinder is one of the most major curvilinear geometric figures:
the surface of the cylinder is formed by the points at a fixed distance
from a given direct line, the axis of the cylinder. The solid enclosed
by this surface and by 2 planes perpendicular to the axis is called a
cylinder too. The surface area and the volume of a cylinder have
been known since early antiquity.
In differential geometry, a cylinder is defined more broadly as any
ruled surface spanned by a one-parameter family of parallel lines. The most
common type of such generalized cylinders is given by certain quadric
surfaces. A cylinder whose cross section is an ellipse, parabola, or
hyperbola is called an elliptic cylinder, parabolic cylinder,
or hyperbolic cylinder.
How to find the volume of a cylinder
The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of 1 end of
the cylinder by its height.
Or as a formula: where:
Pi, approximately 3.142R is the radius of the circular end of the cylinder
H height of the cylinder
Some more on the volume of a cylinder
Recall that a cylinder is like an empty limonade can. It has nothing
inside, and the walls of the could have 0 thickness. So strictly speaking, the
cylinder has 0 volume. When we talk about the volume of a
cylinder, we really are talking about how much soup it could hold.
Think of it this way: if you took a real, empty metal can and melted it down,
you would end up with a small blob of metal. If the can was made of metal with 0
thickness, you would get no metal at all. That is what we mean when we say a
cylinder has no volume.
The strictly correct way of saying it is "the volume surrounded by
a cylinder" - the amount of soup it holds. But many textbooks simply tell "the
volume of a cylinder" to mean the same thing. But this isn't strictly
correct in the mathematical sense. What they often mean when they tell this is
the volume surrounded by the cylinder.
Units
Remember that the radius and the height must be in the same units - convert them
if necessary. The resulting volume will be in those cubic units. So if
the height and radius are both in centimeters, then the volume will be
in cubic centimeters.
