4th order or wall for 18's

Recommended Posts

I am looking to build a 4th order or wall in a Tahoe at the c-pillar. I am looking at either 3 or 4 woofers.

1st question, has any one had success with a 4th order build with only 3 subs?

2nd question will a 4th order with 4 subs or wall with 4 woofers work well at the c-pillar?

Why do you want a bandpass?

Try again.  Does the opposite.  Narrow range, in fact they are passed in a band.  

 

Any other reason?

4th orders have two narrow ranges. And if you build it right you can get a bigger range of frequencies. Regular ported boxes are a lot easier to design and get right.

And as I stated, it will NOT be a better range of frequencies. I understand BP frequency response, the OP obviously does not. It isn't about easier and getting it right, it is about being useful. Generally speaking that alignment offers no benefit and a ton of negatives.

BP enclosures do not have an advantage over a normal ported enclosure in that way. Not unless you want a really narrow bandwidth, but that would be stupid.
