[QUOTE="DNick454, post: 6024657, member: 600755"] I've been kind of busy here lately. But here's what I've come up with so far... I know that WinISD does not represent and exact real world application, but it does a pretty good job at recreating transient curves in respective boxes with the said driver. It doesn't account for the acoustical effects of the surroundings, but this is going in a larger room, so there shouldn't be as large of an effect as a car cabin. Here's some of the results I came up with using the JL Audio 12W3v3 driver. First off, it appears this driver doesn't really like 4th order bandpass enclosures. No matter how much I fiddled with it, I would either get a flat response, but with low output, or a super high peak (typical of best buy bandpass boxes [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG]) so I also plotted a regular ported box. 1.75 cubic feet net as recommended by JL with a middle of the road tune @ 35Hz. It gave a decent response with fair output, better than the 4th order in my opinion. Surprisingly, the 6th order yielded really great results. With a 3 cube chamber tuned to 32 Hz and a 1.5 cube chamber tuned to 60 Hz, it gave excellent output from 30-80Hz range which should be good for your setup. Here's the transient curves so you can decide for yourself.
