Glued and Screwed! Lol
True haha. Well let me ask y'all one more question. If a ported box gets you the most output then why does 2 "ported boxes" together not do the same?

A parallel-tuned 6th order has both chambers firing to outside the box, a series-tuned 6th order has one chamber firing its port into the other chamber and then that second chamber fires to outside the box.
So literally 2 ported boxes glued together?

So a fourth order bandpass box lets you trade bandwidth for efficiency. So to get the wider bandwidth your friend desires he is going to have to give up a lot of output. My suggestion would be a parallel-tuned 6th order bandpass. You friend would keep the low frequency output he is used to, but he would get a big boost up higher for a much wider bandwidth.
For specs I'd suggest 5 cu ft @ 28 Hz for the rear chamber and 2.5 cu ft at 55 hz for the front chamber.
Alright well I know what 6th order is but what is parallel-tuned? And for this 6th order I am doing it just like 2 ported box together?

Forget everything you have learned about ratios. They are wrong as often as they are right. You are much better off designing the chambers independently of each other based on what you need the box to do.
How much power is your friend going to be running? That will determine how big you can make the sealed chamber.What kind of bandwidth does your friend want to get? What are the goals for the system? That will determine the size and tuning of the ported chamber.
Alright well he's gonna be pushing around 1500watts and like around 30hertz to 50hertz ya know I don't really know how far the band width goes so I don't want a gap in between tho. He just tired of hearing lows but he wants to have more "variety". He wants to keep his lows but still have high end.

Alright guys so hopefully someone can help me, I know some about 4th orders but I have a friend here that wants one done for his 2 Sundown X-12s. Now i understand the ratios but my question is if i need 5ft3 which is recommended for ported. Now if I do like 2:1 ratio that means i do 5ft3 ported and 2.5ft3 sealed correct? Just wanna make sure I don't screw up this ya know. And if that is correct then I do the ported section exactly like a normal ported box? If anyone would help that would be awesome! Thanks!

Your wiring is up to bar, you have stock alt as well? If that is the case you don't have enough power to feed it fully. Get that alternator changed out and you won't have anything to worry about. Until then though just try not to go under 12v volts.
So I can use it all I want as long as I don't push it under 12 volts? It won't damage it?

How does you wiring look? And what batteries are you running?

And what impedance are you wiring to, and stock alt from what rig ?

I have 0 gauge of OFC wire for ground and power. I have a AGM 65 dry cell battery and a stock battery up front. Independence is 1 ohm and it's for a 1999 Chevy Tahoe

Ok so I recently bought a scv-3000 amplifier and I was planning on putting it in my truck. But. I still have the stock alternator. So my question for y'all is it possible to still run the amp just don't crank it up where it pulls too much amps?
4th Order
in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!

Alright well I'm gonna work with that tonight and do some math and I'll post a picture of me results and let me know what you think.
