Volume conversion, WET vs. DRY gallons

[idanity]

constructing my round fiberglass 15" DVC subwoofer enclosure, and trying to determine the volume (precisely) of its internal size.

the problem i face is the instide has a few chaotic shapes..the outside is formed/ molded smooth, but i NEED to find its precise volume.

i am using liquid by gallons to convert, but found there is WET and DRY...wtf ?

which one do i use, as this is dramattically different ?

that link reports a easy way to determine gallons to c.f. but im stuck on wet/dry

Volume is volume. Doesn't matter what material it is. The only thing that gets weird is dry ounces and fluid ounces. One is a measure of mass, the other of volume.

Oh yeah, you NEED to have subwoofers in a car to further distract your attention from what's going on around you.

Just make sure you calculate it precisely because you'll get precisely $1100 for your car once you R3V it.

thanks, already have the thread in my 1st post (simpler imo)

thanks.. im looking for the correct volume.
if i knew its exact dimensions (and it was perfectly circular, i could figure it out..the problem here is there is a chaotic shape, and i am using liquid (water) to calculate its volume. i stated nothing about matierial being part of the equation, rather an explanation (for those that know its characteristics, wrinkles/ thickness).

and my question (since you are relatively understanding my dilemma ) is what reference should i use...
wet or dry gallons to determine the volume of the enclosure (again, when using water to fill it.)
the difference is about 2 gallons of "matter"




and to add

i have no distactions,
i have no idea what your implying or talking about.
wtf is 1100 ?
why do you think im not "calculating it correctly" (aint you reading a post about doing just that)
your post is all OPINION and if you helped a little bit, i would not bash ya here.
but really, rigmaster...STFU

i already know the equation..
i don't know wether its WET or DRY ?

thats really it folks..

WET or DRY.

thanks for any help.

Here, let me hold your hand. You can read right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon

Read that and make your decision. We dont care.

[Rigmaster]

Wet is volume, dry is weight.

Eat a wet dick, then dry it off with your tongue.

Buy a Honduh.



In case you don't understand that, you a precisely a moron.

yeah..i read that before i even posted..
i did my search.
i am just learning from anyone else who has created their own enclosures.

i don't hold hands well, and i do all my own work
thanks for the help

and to the "rig-mister"..

funny how all the slander you got is whats in your own conciouseness...look at your own words, and think..its all in your own mind and thoughts...(idiot)...
how about some explanation on your 1st post (or can you)
b/c your all about spouting off.
got any pix of your e30
do anything for yourself lately. (including learning ENGLISH..."i love that last line...

In case you don't understand that, you a precisely a moron.

)
let me say it again
STFU

[idanity]

you a precisely a moron.

lmao...

Gallons should be gallons, period....HxWxL /231.

It has been repeatedly stated that wet or dry volume is the same. I can understand that and I a precisely a moron.

[Incary]

If you are using water to measure the volume, why not use a proper international standard and measure it in litres? Litres are the same wet or dry, hot or cold, upside down or backwards, even in space or underground.

And 1 litre of water = 1 kilogram

Isn't is beautiful? :)
