[QUOTE="Jroo, post: 8169496, member: 574112"] When you guys mention small boxes are you talking about small ported side? I say this because a small ported side and higher tuning can certainly work on a 4th order and sometimes slides over to the "sq" end. What I have seen is the larger ported side 4th are usually loud as **** but are peaky depending on the tuning. I had a SA12 modeled and it was 2.0 sealed side and .75 ported tuned to 60hz. It had less output compared to a SA12 ported in 1.75 @32, but the thing was ruler flat from 20 to 70. The ported box had a huge peak around 40 and started dropping like a rock after that, I guess as it got to tuning. I say this to say that you have to model it and then play with it real world. Ive used a couple of 4th and found out what really worked was usually different than the design on paper. On the 4ths Ive used I usually ended up with a smaller ported side and higher tuning becasue I wanted a box that was louder than it would be just sealed. Its all in your goals and being stupid loud was never a goal of mine, just louder musically. I cant speak on a 6th order because Ive never had one. [/QUOTE]
