You must have the specs of your speaker for future steps. Most subwoofer manufacturers have the specs for their speakers right on their websites, but some could be in the manuals. For this guide, I chose to work with a Sundown Audio Ev3 10’, and to find what size box it would work best in, I checked the specs of the speaker, found on the Sundown website. Using and interpreting data is a key component of this context, and we do this in the tutorial with the data given from WinISD.Įach subwoofer has a recommended size box that it performs best in, and this differs if mounting in a sealed or ported box. This tutorial relates to the computation aspect of this context, using the program WinISD. The skills listed above are also key pieces to this practice.Ĭontext - Computation, Automation, AI, and Robotics

This tutorial does not cover the physical building of the box, but the creation of the design and plans to be used to build the box later. In these terms, making refers to the act of creating something, and doing refers to the hands-on processes associated with designing and building. The skills used in this tutorial such as measuring, sketching, and CAD are integral parts of this core standard. This tutorial relates to the one of the key ideas of this standard, that making is an inherent part of technology and engineering design. OPTIONAL - Solidworks, Fusion 360, or other similar 3d modeling programĬore Disciplinary Standards - Design in Technology and Engineering Education
