the box itself creates the filtering. higher the order, the sharper the slope.

It's the rube-goldberg of crossovers.....?

What's the benefit of controlling response this way?

You don't need an external crossover. Port can also fire directly into the cabin from a trunk car.

I can't imagine it's anywhere close to most peoples first choice o.O how much design time goes into a 12th order versus a comparable crossover system?

I'd just imagine designing the crossover would save time, and tears lol

More than most people are willing to put into it and almost definitely more than they have the knowledge to put into it.  The more complicated the design/higher the order the more perfect everything has to be to get the response exactly as designed/predicted.  Kind of like the difference between a sealed enclosure and a ported, or a standard ported and a band pass.  You can be a good bit off on a sealed enclosure and not have any major detrimental affect on the response but you can't be anywhere near that far off on a ported enclosure.  The same goes for the second comparison, let's just say for the ease of understanding that you can be up to 10% off on volume, or port length, etc. on a ported enclosure without having a seriously detrimental affect.  You couldn't be anywhere near that far off with a band pass enclosure and have it's response anything like you had designed/modeled/predicted for it.

 

That same rule applies with a 6th order, 12th order, etc.  The more complicated it is the more accurate EVERYTHING has to be in order for the alignment to work as designed.  It boils down to determining whether or not you really NEED that alignment and when taking KISS into consideration it hardly makes sense for the average person.
