difference in SA8 ported and SA8 in a 6th order

[Jroo 10+ year member]

I have a chance to get a SA8 real cheap used and wondered had anyone modeled the difference in ported vs 6th order? Years ago on caraudioclassifieds.org, had a few free 6th order plans and I remember a few said the Sa8 did really well in the boxes. I am going to try and dig up the plans. If memory serves me, they had two versions, one being bandwidth and one being high output. I would look more at the bandwidth version.

Back to the question, has any modeled or care to model a single SA8 in a ported vs 6th order? The one I will end up with is 4 ohm final load on around 300 rms from an older JL slash amp in a sedan trunk.

Ebp is 102 on d4 model, so yes it would work in a 6th

Im still trying to dig up my design. If I cant find it, who would be a good 6th order person to go to?
