Bassbox SPL calculation questions

Yes, as well as most other environments. You can specify the environment in the software to account for room/cabin gain or just leave it out for anechoic, 1watt at 1m or the subs max SPL via its max power handling...
I use this program but there are members here who have more advanced software that I assume they built themselves from matlab, textbooks and actual knowledge of these subjects. They would take into account VC temperature with many other factors...
I would recommend buying a Dayton DATS V2 or V3 to measure the subs actual TS parameters after giving it a good break in. Usually FS lowers but it can measure a lot more than just speakers.

Good luck

I'm wanting to confirm it's anechoic - the sensitivity of the driver was measured in half-space so I want to see if the software accounts for that giving true anechoic or if I'm to presume that since half-space was used that's what I get out in relation to SPL.

I already have the T/S parameters, but I'm wanting to confirm max anechoic SPL so that I can then model boundary and room gain. If it's already taking half space or more into account that changes things.
