NcHalfrican Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 When tuning the port for a 4th order can you use a regular box calculator? just enter the specs for the ported part of the enclosure and tune accordingly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siucsaluki11 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 ive spent quite a few hours playing with BBP6, trying different tunings and volumes to get which response curve and everything looks like it would work best to me. If it does, great, if not, time to build another box. Most people say ported area should be 3-4 times that of sealed, but it is all woofer dependent. Going by the response curves ive gotten ive decided im going to be trying 3 chambes, 2 sealed, one ported. 1 cube in each sealed chamber, 3.2 or so in the ported, with a big ol 8" port about 4" long. Heres a pic. Went with the untypical ration because it gave the smoothest curve, widest bandwidth, and most gradual peak. Other ones had a real strong peak around 50 Hz. I dont want a boomy box, its an SQL build. Supposed to get loud but sound good doing it, which is why i wanted to try a 4th order in the first place, becasue they can be very musical from what everyone says. And the response curve im getting Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port... YOU JUST LOST THE GAMER.I.P.
