Subject: HELP: need Radio Shack Thiele-Small formulas


i've tried a bunch of different keyword searches and even visited the thiele-small site trying to find the box calculating formulas for sealed and ported boxes to no avail. the closest i could come is finding online calculators that i can't use. i DID find some funky formulas here that i couldn't make heads or tails of.

i need those SIMPLE formulas so i can do some calculations at home where i'm not online. the radio shack book i used to have had very simple formulas. multiply vas X qts, divide this by that and boom... easy formula. i have no idea what the upward pointing arrows mean in the complex formulas listed here.

all i need is the short form formulas for finding -f3s at various smaller enclosures for the drivers in my MCM catalogue. sadly, they give "optimum" alignments for their woofers, but the box sizes are all over the map and i want to find the deepest bass for the smallest box for my bicycle.

i can't use calculators as i'm in a library now and have to do all my calculations the old fashioned way.

i'd greatly appreciate it if anyone has the SIMPLE formulas that i can't seem to find anywhere online. the one given here for sealed boxes is about 8X more complicated than the one in my old book. that formula only required 3 or 4 calculations.

thanks in advance to anyone who can direct me to those equations. i've tried, and just can't find them, just calculators that hide their math.
