Ektro Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 I found a Ford Explorer with 12 12s in a 4th order so do you think I could get 6 15s in mine? I have the mercury version of the Ford Explorer.
Triticum Agricolam Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 In a 4th order bandpass? Are you going to wall? I've seen lots of stuff on the internet that folks have done that I would not consider done "right" or that performs well, no matter what they say.

Ektro Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Posted June 21, 2014 B Pillar 4th order wall. Umm whatever my wall builder wants to do. I wanna try and push it with 6 subs.
_paralyzed_ Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 a regular 4th order or a bandpass? LOL. A regular fourth order is a bandpass.
Ektro Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Posted June 21, 2014 a regular 4th order or a bandpass? LOL. A regular fourth order is a bandpass. Well see just learned something new about 4th orders
_paralyzed_ Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 You need to measure your available space. To build a fourth order you make the sealed section to the specs of the manufacturer. If the 15"s you want to use require 3 cubic feet per sub sealed, you would need 18 cubic feet just for the sealed section. Most fourth orders are a 2 to 1 ratio, so your ported section would need to be 32 cubic feet. That's not counting wood and bracing, which will take up more area. So you need to measure your vehicle and figure out how many cubic feet are available. Then you need to pick a sub and see what the manufacturers specs are for the sealed section, that will determine how many of what will fit.
Miguels Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 wrong info is being handed.. just because a sub require 3 cubes sealed dont mean it will work the same way in a bandpass. there is more to it than going with manufacture recommendations for the sealed side. about a 4th order being a bandpass.. ive seen post/threads of people saying a regular ported box is a 4th order. A bandpass is when you add a seal side to it.. seen it in 4th order bandpass sections my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
_paralyzed_ Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 LOL! All fourth order boxes are bandpass boxes. Fourth order boxes have a sealed section, and a ported section. So yes, if you add a sealed section to a ported box, that turns the regular ported box into a fourth order bandpass. Trust me dude. And as a general rule of thumb you build the sealed side to manufacturers specs. You might want to make sure you know what you're talking about before you call someone out.
Miguels Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 so how does it work with a AA mayhem that is not recommended on a sealed box yet they used in 4th order bandpass boxes in some cases. how do you determine the sealed section if there is no manufacture recommendation on a sealed box for that sub? edi: i know adding a sealed side to a ported box makes it a bandpass..what i was saying is there are a bunch of people who say that a regular ported box is a 4th order. people who build bandpass boxes.. my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
