Eclipse titanium 15" in a 6th order possibly? If so, what would be a good volume for each chamber? Ratio? Tuning? Space is not an issue.

Parallel or series tuned 6th order? What amp?

Forget ratios. What are you goals for the system? What kind of frequency response/bandwidth are you hoping to get?

Do 5k is the amp. What is the difference between parallel and series 6th? Just looking for a decent output. Hip hop music mainly.

A parallel tuned box is basically just two ported boxes connected together with the sub sitting between them. A series tuned box is like having one ported box that the sub and port fire into another ported box. Both styles are a pain in the ass to design and are difficult to get to work well, though series tuned are definitely the more difficult of the two.

Unless you have a really good reason for wanting a bandpass box, just stick with a regular ported box, you will probably have better results.

It will have to be a series tuned. The box will be sitting in the bed of a truck and firing through the rear windo of the truck.

You could probably make a parallel tuned box work in that situation. Its not hard to design it so both ports exit next to each other.

Just so you know what you are getting into, 6th order bandpass boxes are complex beasts, this is especially true of series tuned ones. They can require a lot of tinkering to get right, including rebuilding the whole box multiple times. Do you have the T/S specs on your sub?
