Hey everyone, I’m looking for the transfer function (frequency curve) graph for a 2010 Honda Fit (GE8). If anyone has it or knows where I could find it, let me know. Thanks in advance!
Honestly, just build a box and move on. You’re overthinking this way too much.

I’ve been doing car audio for 35 years and have built or rebuilt over 1,000 systems. Just because you can’t hear a 60db difference between 60Hz and 70Hz doesn’t mean I’m going to waste $2,000 on gear just to have it sound terrible.

Just build the box and use an EQ. Problem solved.

Why would I design a box to be flat in WinISD and then put it in a car that cancels out specific frequencies? I build real systems for serious clients who pay me well. If you’re happy being a hack, fine, but I’ve got mouths to feed, and my work reflects that.
@Dallas
No offense, but if you’re doing this professionally, you’d already know how to model it yourself. Just grab some plywood, put it together, and stop worrying about a 14-year-old Honda Fit. You’re not getting rich off this.
@Kai
What’s the point of being this negative? I do 6–8 full installs a year outside of work, plus monthly box builds. This brings in almost half my yearly income. My cars are my demos, and I’ve built a reputation for making $1,000 systems sound better than others’ $3,000 setups.
This Honda is my personal project. My mic and laptop got stolen, so I can’t do a sweep until I replace them. Why are you being such a jerk?
@Dallas
Just get a DSP and EQ the car. You don’t need to overcomplicate it with transfer functions. No one does this.

You’re telling me no one in car audio bothers with plotting frequency curves? 
Seriously? Any IASCA competitor will tell you that plotting is standard. I’ll either find the curve or wait until I replace my mic. When I’m done, my single 8-inch ported sub will outperform someone else’s dual 10s. Then, I’ll dial it in with DSP for true sound quality. A good installer uses DSP to improve something already great, not to cover up mistakes. Get real.
@Dallas
LMAO, this sounds like a parody. ‘EVERYONE PLOTS, BRO!’ Where have I heard this before?
It’s from that TikTok meme. Look up ‘Everyone’s plotting’—you’ll get a kick out of it.
