Experience with high ratio bandpasses

So I plan on a high ratio 4th in the future and I'm wondering what peoples response curves are like when the ratios get up to 3:1-4:1. Also wondering how durastic the peaks are

4:1 would be the space for 5 subs in sealed, honestly quintuple cone area likely is going to be louder, no peaks at all.

Well not everyone can afford 5 times the cone area they plan on running lol so I should do 20 15s in a sealed wall instead of 4 15s in a 4:1? That doesn't seem practical

Some subs work better in 4th order bandpass boxes than others. Without knowing what subs it impossible to tell. At that high of a ratio you are almost certainly going to get peaky response, it will just be a question of how much. What other people tell you about their setups will only be relevant if you are running similar equipment under similar conditions.

So you have completely one-of-a-kind subs, that's going to make recommendations a lot more difficult. Do you have a way to measure the T/S parameters of those subs? Without that info the best you will get is generic suggestions, and I doubt you are looking to get generic performance. We can't tell if those subs would even be appropriate for a 4th order band pass box.

Knowing who built the things, they'll be friendly if Dylan told him to make them 4th friendly.

750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.

I'm not looking for a box anyways, just wanna hear how other peoples high ratio bandpasses have sounded lol annoyingly peaky, had a peak here but still sounded good everywhere else, ect.
