[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8863999, member: 591582"] That's why I was starting to experiment with series style enclosures where the rear was a hard loading chamber but the front was more line-like, lower pressure, to have it load hard on the lows and kinda aim for a softer and wider top end extension. There's an art form to bandwidth and pressure levels, and you have to match the box structure to what your ears want to hear lol. Most cars load so hard that ported boxes do most of what everyone wants most effectively. Home audio is a whole different animal, as well, IMO. The styles of subs and what enclosure type you plan to use makes a huge difference, too. If you combine the best t/s with an enclosure type you want to try, that can really be fun. Like, in an 8th order, maybe get a sub with stupid motor force to really wreck all 3 of those chambers, there's a lot of impedance to the woofer freely moving, so a big *** motor and good coil-motor relationship would hammer through all those ports and chambers with authority, vs a softer motor sub maybe more suited to ported or free air.
