varietyguy Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 basics of a 4th is a sealed enclosure firing into a ported chamber (generally tuned very high). A 6th order is a ported enclosure (tuned low) firing into a ported Chamber (tuned high) Most people use a standard 2:1 ratio of chamber size being twice the size of the enclosure.

HatersGonnaHate Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Figure out how many subs you want total. 8 per side as you said above. Find the specs of the sub and the recommended enclosure size, multiply that by 8. So if the subs call for 3 cubes per sub, it would be: 3ft^ x 8subs = 24ft^ when running common chamber that isnt exactly true. I was just throwing a ballpark estimate out there. If you have any further info, please explain Hugh! That's why I referred him to Ray or 412, because I'm not an expert at this by any means lol Quote My name is AdamThis is my Civic Build.7" Samsung Tab 2Kenwood KDC-X896Clarion EQS746Sundown X-15DC 3.5k @2ohmHatersGonnaHate's 02 Civic UBLELD Bypass for Honda Civic/Accord/FitDon's Jeep Grand Cherokee Rebuild N8ball2013 - i think you'd stick your dick in a blender if it told you it was 40 wtih two kids your age. lol srp365 - If posting were picking up bitches, I'd be going home single tonight looks like tony montana sneezed in your car.

Hugh G. Rection Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I haven't dealt with or built or tried to design any 4th orders they are interesting beasts. they can get huge depending on what your doing with them. the 4th order in my pt cruiser goes from the front seats to the back glass, and its only got 2 15's in it.

Hugh G. Rection Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Most people use a standard 2:1 ratio of chamber size being twice the size of the enclosure. 2:1 isnt nearly as fun as 3:1...... Quote Owner of BigAss Ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did experiment with one design, then realized how monstrous it was gonna be and how hard it would be to successfully fit one in my trunk, so I scrapped the Idea.

Junior Russell Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) ok thanks hugh but heres easiest way i can think of he said on right side first 4 firing out second 4 firing in and reversed on the other side and hes leaning towards the kicker solo x 18's on 8 hifonic maximus 20,000w/10,000wrms amps(2 solo x's per amp) what would that be? http://www.amazon.com/Kicker-Subwoofer-Technology-Advanced-Including/dp/B003NJC89Q http://www.amazon.com/Hifonics-Maxximus-Performance-2-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B001KYLDJC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1337138446&sr=1-1 i highly doubt hell use amazon but yeah thats what hes leaning towards is that a good combo or should i talk him out of it?
