Launch Tool

Amplifier Matching

Find the right amplifier power for your subwoofers based on RMS ratings and impedance.

Launch Tool

Cone Area Calculator

Compare subwoofer configurations by cone area. Settle the "6 12s vs 3 18s" debate once and for all!

Launch Tool

dB Power Calculator

Calculate how power changes affect SPL. Essential for understanding amplifier upgrades and competition goals.

Launch Tool

Ohm's Law Calculator

Calculate voltage, current, resistance, or power. Enter any two values to find the others.

Launch Tool

Power Calculator

Calculate your electrical system's capacity. Add alternators and batteries to see if you can support your amplifiers.

Launch Tool

Lithium Battery Calculator

Design DIY lithium battery packs for car audio. Calculate series/parallel configurations for your target voltage and current.

Launch Tool

Strapped vs Gain Matched

Compare strapped (bridged) vs gain matched amplifier configurations. See power output differences and learn which setup is right for your goals.

Launch Tool

DSP Time Alignment

Calculate delay values for your DSP to time-align all speakers. Enter distances from each speaker to your ears for optimal staging and imaging.

Launch Tool

Cost Estimator

Estimate the total cost of a car audio system. Select your vehicle, bass level, quality tier, and components for an instant hardware cost breakdown with electrical requirements.

Launch Tool

Powered by the Loudspeaker Design Cookbook

Our calculators use formulas and methodologies from Vance Dickason's Loudspeaker Design Cookbook, the industry-standard reference for speaker enclosure design. Combined with our database of Thiele-Small parameters, you get accurate, professional-grade results.
