Jpbennington Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Trying to figure out what kind of box design to go with for my single dc level 6 18. I'll have around 3k rms to it. I was gonna go with a 4th order but I've heard they are not good with sealed boxes so now I'm looking at a 6th. I just want the most out of my sub. I would like it tuned around 35 to 40. This is for everyday use. Not looking to break any records or anything. Lol. Thanks all for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice03 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hard to go wrong with a big ported box! If you aren't going for max loudness you could even tune a bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpbennington Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Would a 4th order work with this sub though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your situation benefit from a bandpass box over a conventional ported box (blow through, wirewalled trunk, etc)? A well-done conventional ported box is going to get you the best performance 99% of the time.

Jpbennington Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I already have a ported box built so I guess I'll just try my luck on making a 4th and if it don't sound any better I'll just go back to the ported. Anyone have any good dimensions for a 4th for this sub for me to just try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 The sub will work in a 4th order bandpass box, but not terribly well IMHO. If you want to try it anyway. I'd use 4 cu ft sealed, this is big but you can get away with it because you aren't running huge power. For the ported side I'd go with 6 cu ft. Tune it to around 45 hz with at least 120 sq in of port area. As with all bandpass boxes, I recommend making the port removeable or otherwise adjustable so you can tweak the tuning when you get it playing.

Jpbennington Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I've been searching and I'm not leaning towards a 4th anymore. I just can't make up my mind. Lol. Now I'm searching everything on T lines. I just want to see if I can build something that will make a big difference than what I have now. Been trying to find single 18 boxes for these subs but can't really do d anything. I can for 2 or more but not single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishuponasub Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Your best bet probably is going to be to get your exact dimensions of your box and posting them to see what the builders think. You may just need a better ported box.
