4th Order Design Help

Recommended Posts

I have 4 Sundown Sa-8 V2s that I am thinking about putting in a 4th order box and I have a few questions about how to design it.

1. Do I use the manufacturer's specs for the sealed part?

2. What is the best ported to sealed ratio for a box that I would like to have an output of 20s+ hz?

3. Would tuning the ported area to 45 hz give me the best range in frequency response? (Maybe 20s-60s or so)

I am no expert as I have only built one fourth order box and had a member here design it. However I did read a shit ton before talking to sanitarium I think his name was. And from what I remember yes factory sealed spec and then typically double that for your ported side. I can't remember how he came up with port size but I know it was tunes to something like 47hz. It played really low. It didn't give me the sound I was looking for. But that was with 2 Orion 15's. May have also been the subs. I would recommend searching on here and reading more.

I would get ahold of either Sundown or to get a good designer to get you a proper design. I have heard 2:1/3:1, but all will differ.
