SOBclass1 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I've been searching all (of my) weekend for any kind of in-depth answer that includes actual details on quasi-6th order series tuned bandpass enclosures and what the relaiton between the interchamber and exterior ports are. I picked up a box from my best friend, it's a series tuned 6th order. I measured the interior dimensions of the box and the ports and have it all written down on the inside of the sealed section and can grab it tomorrow morning. I'm trying to find the relation between the interchamber port and exterior port. I don't know if I'm using the wrong search terms or what but I cannot for the life of me find anything other than basic "Probably just don't" which doesn't help because someone else already designed, built, and ran it with extremely impressive results. I need to figure this enclosure out so that I know if I can run the subwoofer I purchased in it, or if I should stick to what I do know and build the 4th order I designed for the subwoofer. Currently the plan is to hook up my oscope and grab my measurement microphone and just run sweeps to kind of guage where the sweet spot is, being that I'm on the Autism spectrum though my brain is telling me that I need to figure the damn thing out. So yeah, any help is largely appreciated, formulas would be absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 typically the ports are tuned one octave lower than each other but now always the case, it really depends on what the said enclosure was built for, but if there is a sealed section and a ported section of the enclosure you bought then its not a 6th order, its a 4th. 6 order is ported box inside a ported box where as a 4th order is a sealed box inside a ported box basically.

I would really appreciate it if you read my post again and responded accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOBclass1 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 This is the most complete information I've been able to find thus far. It makes more sense but I'm still hoping to find formulas for modeling the relationship between ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 If you want a description on how 6th order series tuned enclosure works check US Patent Number: 4,875,546 No quick formulas though, but they are absolutely unnecessary these days now that we can use modeling software.

CstrokerV Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Trial and error… no modeling software needed lol…. I’m doing a 4th order tlIne box lol someday just to play around with a 5” sub my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, a 6th order bandpass series or parallel tuned doesn't have a sealed section so where ever you are writing these measurements down must be inside of a 4th order bandpass because that is what has a sealed section.

CstrokerV Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Probably not I just wanted to experiment I’ll have to read that see how it he said it sounded my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
