kidd666 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 makes sense. i've heard that 4th orders are better with a 1:1 ratio, is that true? if so i was tinking of doing it with 3 cubes sealed and 3 cubes ported. and what frequency would i want to port it at so i could hit some pretty low notes?

99fullsizechevy Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 It all depends on the woofer and car, some subs like closer to a 2:1 for music where as other like closer to a 1:1 generally the smaller sealed to ported ratio also means a betters power handling yet smaller bandwidth... Generally speaking IMO a 2:1 ratio around 50hz is a good place to start when designing one.. But the best way is to build a number of them and see which one you like the most, as in build a 3:1 a 2:1 and a 1:1 with interchangeable ports and switch tuning freq anywhere from 45-55 hz..
