Resonance frequency

Anyone know how to find out the resonance frequency of the inside of an FC????? Or if there's a formula to calculate. Thanks.

You could calculate it for the given interior volume of the car, but what do you need it for?

Resonance F = 1/2*Pi*(L*C)^1/2

Well whoever told you that is the one with the misunderstanding. The port is used to tune the enclosure to a particular resonance frequency for a particular driver. The last thing you want to do is to drive any speaker/enclosure combo at it's resonance freq, you will get stupendous breakup.

Same thing for the interior. When the interior is resonating it will sound terrible. Resonating=vibration.

Yes, if you tuned your port to the resonant frequency of the car, your car would shake uncontollably (Correct me if im wrong) when your port met the frequency. Resonance = vibration. I heard once of a motorcycle's exhaust meeting the natural frequency of the motorcyle, and the motorcycle started shaking uncontrollably and you can guess what happened after that....
