i've been playing around w/ walling 4 cvx 15's in a 4th order in my car..i would think the ported clamshell would move more air but the bandpass would be overall louder..

Why not a 6th order bandpass wall? Has the potential to be more efficient than 4th.

One of the sickest loud systems I have ever seen (daily driver built for a guy who only listened to metal and hard rock) was a 6th order BP that filled the back of a pathfinder (walled behind the front seats) that housed a quartet of Orion XTR-15 DVC subs. Playing music (not rap either) the truck could be in the install bay and flex the front window of the audio shop doing the install. It was also killer on the transients and detail. Competed in IASCA 100-250W category back then. They're not easy to design or build but when done right they can be amazing.
