6th order weirdness question

[Killerbee6669]

So here my question say you have 2 subwoofer boxes that have the subs firing up and the port on the side of the box.... if you put the 2 boxes together wouldn't it become a 6th order... you'd need to retune the box but would that be possible.....

Depens on what you mean by "together"  but if I imagine right you would have a parallel tuned 6th order bandpass, still that would be useless because in such enclosures the chamber sizes are of different sizes, port area and port tuning of each port are vastly different, in other words that wouldn't work at all.

Like I build this again but adjust the port

turning before putting it on wouldn't that make it a 6th order

here are the two basic types of 6th order bandpass enclosures:

 

Parallel tuned:

 

 

Series tuned:

 

 

As you can see with bandpass enclosures you can never see the drivers from the outside.
