enclosure volume question

When calculating the cubic volume of an enclosure...is the thickness of the wood _included_ in the volume, or is it not included?

For example, if I had a box that measured 6 inches x 6x6 inches, and the thickness of the wood was 1 inch, would I calculate the volume using 5x5x5, or do I include the thickness of the wood and keep it at 6x6x6?

Only On Internal Volume Would You Use The Thinkness Of The Wood

internal volume is the only thing that counts. You need to factor in that wood will take up some of that internal volume. Remember to subtract the volume of the port(s) and the sub(s) from the total box volume too.

how does displacement at full excursion work paul i am stumped on that

I have never heard of anyone making a calculation for that, the actual cone accounts for very little of the displacement anyway. Most of a speakers volume displacement is the basket and magnet assembly.
