About Us

DIY Audio Lab started as a spreadsheet passed around a workshop. It is now a small set of free, metric-first tools for people who design and cut subwoofer enclosures.

Why metric first

Most enclosure calculators were written around inches and cubic feet, which means anyone working from an 18mm sheet of MDF spends their evening converting numbers. Our tools take millimetres directly off the tape measure, report net volume in litres, and keep the cubic feet equivalent in brackets so you can still cross-check a driver spec sheet.

How the maths works

Gross internal volume is derived from your panel geometry and wood thickness, then port air volume, port wall material and woofer displacement are subtracted to give a net figure. Port tuning uses the standard Helmholtz resonator relationship with an end correction, solved iteratively because port displacement changes the very volume it is tuned against.

Who we are

Just a few installers who don't believe in "black box" answers—. Built by audio hobbyists, for audio hobbyists, to put all the tools you need in one clean, simple place.
