I'm trying to design a box for a Obsidian Audio 15. I would like to do a bandpass box instead of a normal ported box. I've been trying to find info on the difference and usefulness of the two. The most info I've found is here:
Bandpass..... explained.
How do I know which one (4th or 6th) would be better suited for my sub?
In the link above, it says to use this equation to figure out which order to use:
Fs/Qes = EBP
It says EBP under 70 - 4th order, and EBP above 70 - 6th order. Is this a reliable method? Or is there some other way? (OA 15 came out to 50.xx)
I've been running numbers through WINISD and this is what I've got so far:

Also, how musical are these boxes? Is there a certain ratio for the chambers and tuning?
Any help is appreciated.
PS. Would be going in a Tahoe.
