Bassinmaxima Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Hi I have a question about 4th order enclosures what happens if your sealed section is bigger then your ported section ?
Triticum Agricolam Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 If the sealed section is larger the pressure differential on the cone can rip the voice coil right off the former. When the voice coil comes off it usually causes a emp spike which will make your amp melt. Or not. Nothing exciting happens, the box just performs differently. Actually having a sealed side that is larger than the ported side isn't uncommon for bandpass boxes that aren't used for car audio.

Vice03 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 I made a box like that once, nothing exciting happened. Bass came out. Sounded alright.

If the rear (sealed) chamber is properly sized likely all you will get is a flatter response, the idea behind high chamber ratio boxes is getting louder, which it does but mainly at tuning.
