4 8" RE RE's ported vs. 6 8" RE RE's sealed

Whats gonna have the most output? It's either 4 ported, or 6 sealed. don't have room to port 6 of em.

Edit: Both setups will be recieving adequate power. on a sturdy electrical

hmm, i think 6 sealed might be a little better since it will be hard to get alot of port area in the space you have.

but either one will do you well.

like i always say, if you got the money to blow, chuck out the dough and spend it all...

really its all about money...cus chance are, spl wise, i bet they are very close, maybe the 6 by a small notch, but you'll probably get alittle bit better sq,

but who cares if you got the money, hell, spend it, and in the future, who knows, maybe you'll port the 6...

 

[maldecido33 10+ year member]

money's not the issue, its just that i don't have room no matter what to port all 6. im struggling to come up with a design to port 4 of them. i think im gonna end up sealing up 6 of em, even though i don't want to :-(

i may do some sort of external round port if i wanna meter them with a plug to seal it back up, though

I see you have a single cab. Not alot of room.

Can you fit 30x33x9.5?

 

[maldecido33 10+ year member]

no way. 56,5" wide, 14.5" tall is my max

and my preferences are 4.5" top depth, 10" bottom depth

that leaves me with about 2.1 cubes gross (IIRC)

Truck box FTW.

 

[maldecido33 10+ year member]

im workin on a good design

4 ported should have more output down really low. (20Hz) Above 60Hz it'll be a wash...

Getting enough port length might become an issue, especially since you'll need a big port to lower vent velocity.

Tough decision...

are you good with fiberglass?

Four 8's!!!!!

sure, but i don't have the time or money to go into a project like that. why, what did you have in mind?

will the box be angled with the back of the seat

yea, im shooting for around 25-30 inches, but either way im gonna have like 25 or so inches long of a port, i dont remember the exact link. but it's like 3/4 of a cube worth of port displacement.... yuck

yep, why
