[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8748292, member: 591582"] That's not true. It all depends on the setup and how it's designed. If you're running 2 Skar 15's on 5kw, then a 6th order is probably going to sound like you want it to, right up your alley. 6th orders can really capture all the power and use everything the sub has to produce a decently wide and controlled bandwidth. At a certain power and cone area level, you're creating so much pressure that the box loads no matter where it is in the vehicle, especially with a series 6th. So, you wind up getting a great bandwidth. I have done 2 18's 6th orders that are tuned to 24 hz rear and mid 40 hz range front, like 45-47 hz, and they will play all the way up to 70 hz loudly, and play sub sonic. You have to design the 6th a certain way to get that range. I can't share those specific secrets, but you can make a series 6th do almost whatever you want it to. I've done DC's in series 6th orders, like their 12. I had a single DC 12 in a pickup truck playing 23-67 hz full tilt and fairly flat, and it was just a box that went in the place of a 40 split rear seat. That was a single 12 on 1500w in a giant full sized crew cab, which those trucks have some of the worst and somewhat unpredictable frequency responses. It's all about how it's designed. [/QUOTE]
