What is a 6th order box?
6th order bandpass boxes can be fickle beasts. They come in two flavors, parallel-tuned and series-tuned. A parallel-tuned box is like two ported boxes with the sub sitting between them, both chambers are ported to the outside. These are the easier of the two styles to get right and you can simulate them in WinISD.
What is a 4th order subwoofer box?
A fourth order enclosure (vented box) is a sealed enclosure with the additon of a port tuned to a specific frequency. The port extends the low frequency response of the basic sealed enclosure usually providing a lower cut-off frequency.
How does a 6th order bandpass work?
Concept. The 6th order alignment consists of a ported chamber either side of the driver, resulting in a bandpass response. The small 60 litre chamber has a single 6-inch port tuned to 53hz.
Do speakers sound better in boxes?
A speaker will generally sound better in a box than in free air or an infinite baffle. actually most car speakers are designed for use in larger air space, such as the door cavity. don’t think a box will have an affect on a tweeter though.
What is a 4th order?
A 4th order is a specific type of bandpass enclosures, and deals with a subwoofer in a sealed box firing into a ported section to help widen the frequency response. Imagine it’s both a sealed and a ported box.
Do bandpass boxes sound good?
Bandpass boxes are extremely difficult to design. There is no such thing as a ‘standard’ bandpass box, they are very specific for the exact speaker that is going in it. Putting two high-dollar 12″ JL subs in a ‘off the shelf’ bandpass box will not sound near as good as a single 10″ in a proper bandpass box.
Do tweeters sound better in a box?
A speaker will generally sound better in a box than in free air or an infinite baffle. actually most car speakers are designed for use in larger air space, such as the door cavity. don’t think a box will have an affect on a tweeter though. for most applications, door mount will be fine.
What is a SPL subwoofer box?
SPL car-audio systems are built around what people call a “Burp-Box” which is a Sub-Woofer Box built to get the highest dB rating possible and usually sound absolutely horrible for music! Also there are companies that make SPL Sub-Woofers made for such “Burps” but I am yet to hear one that sounds nice on music!
How does a 6th order alignment work on a subwoofer?

What makes a 6th order subwoofer bandpass response?
Concept The 6th order alignment consists of a ported chamber either side of the driver, resulting in a bandpass response. The small 60 litre chamber has a single 6-inch port tuned to 53hz. The larger 200 litre chamber has a pair of 6-inch ports tuned to 25hz
Are there sixth and eighth order bandpass enclosures?
Most often only seen in SPL competitions, the sixth & eighth order bandpass and Quasi-sixth & Quasi-eighth order bandpass enclosures can offer a GREAT deal of SPL in a “relatively” small enclosure if built “dead on balls accurate”, but often (expletive removed) at reproducing anything worth listening to in the mobile enviroment.
Why are sixth and eighth order enclosures good?
The power handling is excellent within the bandpass region and SPL can be intense. This is what makes these a great choice for some SPL competitors, but for everyday listening, they are less than desirable. So why did I make this page about sixth and eight order enclosures?
