Gonna make this a money pit lol How are you going to have a budget on a show truck! 🤣 just kidding bud. We all have our budget. But really, 1 plexiglass wall for your box won't cost you as much as you think. Go to your neighborhood plastics warehouse (after you get a box designed) and all how much for a piece cut to these specific dimensions. You'd be surprised. Yeah, unfortunately you need a computer for those 2 applications I told you about (I did tell you right?). I wish there was one on the phone.

But to design that, and be able to model the response curve, I would think you'd need Bass Box Pro (a computer program that gets really in depth with enclosure design. It's $150, or around there) or something like that. Maybe Hornresp has an option for 8th order enclosures....I can't remember. Each of those ports would be tuned to a different frequency. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope that’s a parallel-tuned 6th order. If someone wants to go down the 6th order road those are actually the least difficult to get right.

vtxcalibur Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I like this one too. What's the purpose of these kind of boxes? For me it's that I could put both subs sideways and save room in the width of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone wants to go down the 6th order road those are actually the least difficult to get right. I've never seen one described with 3 ports. Only two. My bad. So would they be tuned to 3 different frequencies? By the way, I enjoyed reading on the experiments you did with series 6th orders. Not that I'd ever be able to successfully design an enclosure, but a good, interesting read none the less 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!

Not that I'd ever be able to successfully design an enclosure, but a good, interesting read none the less The box in the picture is symmetrical, so the left and right chambers are going to be the same volume/tuning. The center chamber would be tuned differently though. In the end its just another way to layout a parallel-tuned enclosure. Its similar to have a ported box with a port on both sides vs one port in the middle.

For me it's that I could put both subs sideways and save room in the width of the box These are other parallel-tuned 6th order bandpass boxes. They have two tuning frequencies which allows you to shape the frequency response in ways you can't do with a regular ported box. That does not make them better however, just more sophisticated. If I can give you some advice, for 98% of applications a regular ported box is going to provide the best performance relative to how much space it takes up, and how difficult it is to design/construct. Bandpass boxes generally only perform better when you have a specific problem you are trying to address, and they almost always have drawbacks.
