D-train-13k Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 not all 4th orders are super peaky. yours is really peaky because the ports are not allowing the air to flow smoothly. also because your cars resonating fq isnt going to help the box at all. i had to do a lot of trial and error with the ports on my box. and well you know how it sounds. yeah but the ones that arent peaky do they get as loud on the same amount of power as ones that are tuned to be? also I dont think i could get a good 4th order in my trunk for 2 12s. i dont think.... yeah probably not. since that single 15 blowed. but my system is pretty solid all around. it was extremely peaky at first then i just brought the tuning down and had some more port area and just a little bit of tweaking and it just brough the peak down but still pushing the same loudness Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loudNlow87 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 What's the goal with this box? All I can see coming is double peaks. Kind of like a 6th order, but worse. Wouldn't you want more of a flat response?
