series tuned 6th order design advice

Recommended Posts

So, I am mostly a lurker and have been reading up on 6ths for a while and think I actually might have a design that'll work. The thread that was really helpful was one over on caco (idk if I'm allowed to post the link here. I will if I'm allowed) but here's a summary of what I've learned:

Inner box- generally to ported specs (volume), ~3-5sq in port per foot, tuned low (aeros work well to keep port noise down)

Outer - volume depends on ratio wanted - 1:1 fairly flat between tuning points, 1:2(inner:outer) peak near higher tuning point, 2:1 peak near low tuning point. Port - 35-50sq in port per foot, tuned one octave higher than inner box (one octave higher is double the one below it - ex: 60 is one octave above 30hz)

general rule of thumb: don't have ports firing into each other. inner ports need to be able to load off a wall

If there's anything else that I missed, correct me.

My design:

Growing old is necessary... growing up is an option! Have fun or you might as well fall into a 6 foot deep hole. Its much easier to be smart and act stupid then it is to be stupid and act smart! You're only limited by your imagination! Stop limiting yourself!
