4th order power/design question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 4th order that has 19 cuft on the ported side and 12 on the sealed (4 Separate chambers, 3 cuft per chamber) with 4 oldschool l5 15 solo barics. I have ~700 watts running to each sub and I have been told that if I make the ported side bigger it will help with using the power more efficiently and give me higher numbers, but by another very respected builder in my area I have been told to drop the ported side to ~2.25 cuft per chamber. What do you guys think?

Making the ported side larger will increase output around the tuning frequency, but it will also increase cone excursion and group delay.

That ported chamber would need to be a lot bigger for you to see significant efficiency gains, I would try larger port area and play with tuning to find a louder setting, if you want to step up your performance a lot then different subs + more power etc.
