5th Order vs 4th Order: Rear Loaded Folded Horn

Ғылым және технология

This video is the third in a Playlist called Counting Acoustic Orders. This video shows you how I learned how to count subwoofer enclosure orders. I discuss the differences between multiple subwoofer enclosure models, based upon which 'acoustical' order they were designed after.
This video features:
* 4th Order Bass Reflex Enclosure
* 4th Order Bandpass Enclosure
* 5th Order Enclosure: Front Loaded Folded Horn
These interesting enclosure design styles may or may not have been something you or someone you know have used in the past. This series is meant to get a conversation started and enable us to teach each other in this field of acoustics.
Please enjoy, and feel free to leave a comment in the section below.

    5th order horn looks interesting. I would be worried about tuning it in phase but you could probably prototype it out if you wanted to. I feel a transparent side, confetti and a slow motion camera focused on where the two waves meet might help when fine tuning.

    Great video! Super duper graphics! What I wanted to hear was what to expect the sound to be like. Going through all the "orders" of enclosures and WHAT to expect from each design. Show graphs of frequency responses, spl output @ 1 watt input, etc. Enclosure types mean nothing until I can relate to what sound to expect. There is soooo much more. If these are band pass designs, then explain how to figure bandwidth, Q of band width, the fundamental peak frequency of tuning and all that stuff.

    That fifth order setup is super interesting. It reminds me of a tapped horn. Honestly, I see things a bit differently here. -- The whole point of running a ported box is because you get a bump in performance at the tune frequency. A horn typically needs to have a mouth bigger than the driver, so you're able to use the size of the port to make a smaller horn.

    With a difficulty of calculating a tune frequency because we are not sure where port ends an s horn begins, we have a big advantage in neglecting an air velocity cause a horn reduces it to an acceptable level. It’s only important that at a point a port horn meets a membrane, the velocity is lowered enough And don’t forget we need about 12” to double a cross section area to make a horn to play 30Hz. A horn is NOT for a car. And never was. It’s for a big house of a rich man.

    Thanks for the really great videos, I didnt even know i wanted to know all this stuff. One question I have is something you actually touched on with the 4th order bandpass. What applications are each of these designs best suited for? I know you mentioned sealed cabs being punchy and good for kick drums, but do any of these have big advantages over others and in what real world application would you use one over another? Thanks for the exceptional content my man!

    Horns are mostly directional, for the outdoors or pro audio. 4th orders typically control the upper f3 roll off, 6th order better extend the lower f3 couple with the flat and controlled upper f3 of the 4th. Used more so with smaller drivers to give a more pronounced low end. Like in the classical Bose applications.

    Hi, Quite informative videos. Keep them coming. 1. Which is the preferred tool to design higher order subs? Is WinISD good enough? 2. I see a lot of Micro subs being introduced in the marker with driver sizes ranging from 4 to 6 inches! Can you help guide as to which kind of enclosure is the best if one wants to have a preferably kinda flat curve in the 35 to 70Hz zone with a small driver but with very little bass overhang or lumpy bass?

    Most of these tools are the same under the hood. Basic calculations of parameters, applied to acoustic theories. WinISD suits my purpose just fine. As for the micro subwoofer, with space becoming less of an issue, transmission lines and Bandpass enclosures are quite popular. However, there is also a popularity of pairing them with passive radiators

    Isobaric for 4 subs equals the surface area of two subs. Iso saves space and increase motor strength. If that's what you need, then go for it.

    You have bass refex trying to become a 1/4 wave after (series) In an EXPANDIND path transmissionline. Which is just a series 6th that has the second chamber and vent smeared into each other. Its not a ‘5th order’ just because you faded the appearance of its 6th order series layout... but no english class. Im not argueing, you win😁 ....this is budget science for us speaker nerds 101👍🏻😁

    My buddies 1995 525i bmws trunk acts as a 5th order. It has a ported 12inch polk at 250 watts. And because the cabin to trunk armrest port is made of leather and has little give it play it acts as tge port for the 5th order. Makes the 250 sound like a 500 or 600 watt

    The fifth order enclosure looks like the bass box of a Klipsch La Scala to me. Kind of a lot going on in those boxes. After hearing the La Scala (s) and looking at the price tag, yes, I would consider trying to build something like that. Not sure I have enough room to place them properly.
