Depends on the subs. Typically a sub that does well sealed will perform better in a 4th, and a sub that prefers ported orientation will perform better in a 6th.

speakers sound better in bass-reflex than sealed

if I go on the 6th how to make cameras? parallel or in series, to give one to the other? And how to calculate the cameras?

I call somewhere in values ​​25-40Hz.

You will need the subs and the power you are going to use and then model and play with them. No way to tell if a 4th or 6th will work. Depending on your subs and goals, neither of those might be what works best.
