The Subwoofer Box Calculator that calculates
air physics, not just wood cuts.
Generic box calculators only multiply Length × Width × Height. They don't tell you if your port will chuff at 15 m/s, if your cone will exceed Xmax at 25 Hz, or if the tuning frequency ruins transient speed. Load Forge simulates real lumped-parameter physics.
Port Velocity & Chuffing Diagnostics
Calculates vent particle air speed across the entire frequency range. Flags turbulence warnings when velocity exceeds 15–20 m/s and computes the exact flare curvature needed to avoid audible distortion.
True Cone Excursion vs Xmax
Plots cone displacement X(f) in millimeters directly against the factory physical Xmax and damage limits (Xmech). Tells you the exact RMS wattage before voice-coil bottoming.
3D STL Parametric Port Export
Generate water-tight 3D mesh files (.STL) with constant normal wall thickness ready to 3D print on Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, or OrcaSlicer with aerodynamic flares.
