pros and cons 4th or 6th order

[COLTON94]

Ok so im looking for pros and cons on 6th order and 4th order boxes. Will most likely be for a pair of dc m2 8s on 550rms may upgrade power later on. But its for a single cab s10. Just trying to get the best out of my current set up before i commit to buying all new gear.

Bandpass boxes need their space and you have a single cab, I wouldn't do a blowthrough for 2 8"s so it remains to be seen if you have the space, Bandpass are also difficult to align, so often you see people doing removable ports on them to try to avoid a complete rebuild.

Without the blowthrough i dont have room for anything then a gimp .5 sealed box. Im just toying with ideas. A blow through has been the plan for this truck all along but id rather spend for things on my blowthrough and experiment with current gear vs spending for new stuff. I can go measure the room i have to work with in the bed but it is a huge amount of space for 8s but my only options are 12's as i dont have the height for 15s

It seems if u can get the box made correctly, they hit hard!! I have sat in many many 4ths an loved them, an a few 6th orders an I loved the output from those as well compared to the traditional ported.

Box will be designed by ground pounder customs but blowthrough is alot of room for a pair of 8s. Of course i can always build this cute little box that gets loud and catch people off guard hmmmm

does the specs of the woofer effect how it plays a ton? like if i built a 6th order that's supposed to be awesome for 8's that are in the same performance realm as my 8 would it generally be pretty good?

[COLTON94]

Specs of the sub will always effect performance. Every woofer is differnt. Like the aq 2.5 8s are iirc 500 rms which is close to my dc's but they love totally differnt boxes

i guess im just nervous cause i've never tried designing a 6th order and i've never built a box i haven't designed myself. this box im looking to build is supposed to be awesome for my sub, but it looks like it was also meant for a couple other brand 8's. you think i could design something better?

[COLTON94]

Yea a box built just for ur sub will always sound better. If ur nervous i can pm u the email for guy planning mine. Hes affordable and great guy to just ask questions to before u make up ur mind

Does your s10 have buckets or a bench? Automatic tranny or manual? If it's buckets with an automatic build a box that fits between the seats
