TimNorr Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm in need of help concerning my first 4th order. I already have two Soundqubed HDS3.1 12 inch subwoofers that are right now sitting in a ported enclosure in a Toyota LC, but the thing is, I have now bought a new car which is a sedan, ported enclosures + sedans isn't the best way to go. After doing my research, I'm planning to build a 4th order bandpass and porting it thru the rear deck. I've done my calculation regarding the subwoofers and they will do a good job in a 4th order bandpass. I haven't yet been able to design a all around good enclosure, ether the gain drops low, it gets too peaky, the port resonance get to high or the port air velocity peaks very high or the port wants to be too long (over 40 inches''). (calculating using WinIsd) parameters of the subwoofers: RMS power: 1200 Watt dual voicecoil: 2 ohm woofer size: 12'' F(s): 33.65 Hz Q(ms): 6,19 Q(es): 0,769 Q(ts): 0,692 V(as): 22,13 litres L(e): 8,62 mH n(0): 0,10% M(ms): 364,4 grams C(ms): 0,06 mm/N BL: 27.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I’ve never heard that ported won’t work in a sedan.

1point21gigawatts Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 What’s the available trunk measurements and then what’s the measurements for the cutout of your rear deck? “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trunk measurements: 107 cm long, 31,5 cm high and I'm able to play with the width a bit (at least 100 cm) I will cut away and strengthen the rear deck for the needed space. i have calculated a box that's pretty good now, but the only problem is that i get a impedance peak at 30 Hz and 68 Hz. i would want to lower the 30 Hz peak, but I haven't found a good way to do that yet, while playing a bit with the port and ported enclosure measurements I did get it a bit better but then the rest got worse. thanks!

Cut a whole in it 😈 - I've seen rear seat deletes in sedans, with the wall taking up the entire width of the trunk opening behind the seats, and an interchangeable port in the middle - albeit rectangular or aero or etc. Pic for reference: SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the bandpass makes sense.
