How To Design Build And Test | A 6th Order Bandpass (Parallel )

[@anthonyfejeran1891]

Man when I saw how the tuning affected the way the paper was moving from side to side kind of blew my mind. I mean I know how it works but just being able to physically see it was so satisfying. I love it man. Keep up the great work and content. Thanks for sharing.

[@ponokanaka]

True. But when it got lower the plexiglass was flexing a lot. It was nice to see it in action though, but I’m glad he made a solid top. This is a nice box, awesome for a 6.5 single sub. I’d love to have that bandwidth

[@uncletacosupreme7023]

Right. The paper on the left side didnt start moving until it started into the lower frequency.

[@liftedcj7on44s]

I absolutely love 6th orders, as you can see from my profile pic I have 8 12's in a series 6th order wall. I have my small chamber (rear) tuned to 24hz and my large (front) chamber tuned to 48hz. I do a 160db@23hz and a 162.3db@36hz. From 20hz-70hz I never drop below 158db. It has crazy bandwidth, sure I could build a flat wall and be louder but I like to demo and having that kind of bandwidth is amazing. I can play down to 17hz also and still be at a 154db.

[@BudgetBassHead]

I would love to see that build!

[@solomongainey838]

I'd love to see it too. 6th order has been on my mind lately for my daily driver, hate to go thru the trouble of buying mdf, building the box and having it not meet my expectations how well does it compare to a sealed enclosure?

[@KnowName33]

Nice I had a huge 6th order and 1 under powered xmaxxx monster 15 and I loved it my peek was 24hz lol I did 148db at 24hz sealed at the headrest and 142db at 19hz sealed at the headrest and my meeter won't read below 19hz so idk what it did but I could play down to 16hz before losing compression

[@Idrinklight44]

Awesome!!!!!

[@mjl6425]

When you say you can be louder with a flat wall, do you mean in a narrow frequency range?

[@rndmlogin]

Im still pretty blown away by how capable these little drivers are.

[@nikgosser3035]

They really are amazing I had 4 in a very low tuned enclosure on a strapped pair of ct2000.1ds and nobody believed I was only running 6.5s

[@CajunReaper95]

⁠@@nikgosser3035yeah these little 6.5 subs nowadays hit low in the right box with the right amount of subs.

4:10 - visualizing that with the confetti is such a simple and effective way to demonstrate! Awesome video

[@BudgetBassHead]

Glad you liked it!

[@ponokanaka]

Oh I’m glad you topped it off, that plexiglass was flexing

[@Onewheelordeal]

That tuning visualization was awesome!! Never thought about how the enclosure could be dual purpose. One port for video FX and one port for music

[@DIYAudioGuy]

The long port is the result of a small airspace. As the chamber gets smaller the port has to get longer to maintain a given tuning frequency.

[@It-b-Blair]

Y’all should collab! Maybe have Budget on as a guest speaker in your podcast! 🔥🙏

[@arturozarate1752]

[@beograd07]

This is nothing new but well demonstrated. Bose Acoustimass AM5 bass module is built in this parallel 6th order. 30 years old AM5 and it is still working in my computer room attached to my PC amp. Off course Bose AM5 bass module is tuned much higher (40-120 Hz) and the roll of on 40 is very steep but the principle is the same. They managed to make a very small box with 2 X 5-1/2" drivers and they put the driver's panel on the angle so they can make the box even smaller. Very smart. On the angle the driver panel can get the bigger diameter drivers keeping the top and bottom of the box the same distance. Very primitive with only 2 port tubes but it works. Now after I saw this video I am thinking of building the replacement bass box for my AM5 with lower tuning frequency. Building the box will not be a problem but finding the right drivers for it, that is another story. Looking at your presentation I can see the huge Xmax on your CT driver and while it is OK for a higher frequencies (40 and over) I dont like when the driver is moving so much at the lower frequencies. Something is not right in calculation for the under 30Hz in box design as it seems to me the driver is close to the Fs in that range. I know CT can handle it because of its huge Xmax capabilities, but it shouldn't on lower frequencies... Only my opinion, I may be wrong. Either way thanks for this presentation it made mi think about it now.

[@allpaulsfault]

Man absolutely loved this video. Thank you for going through the trouble and work. I tune all my ported enclosures to 25Hz or if it’s only a 10” I may go to 29Hz. I listen to the low stuff. I have 2 trucks with blow throughs. You have motivated me to try a 6th in my daily. Currently enjoying my 2nd year with a 4th type and ready for something new.

[@CasaDeJoker]

This reminds me of a 1990’s 6th order bandbass unit B-8 or B-10 by a company called Collins Sun Electronics or Collins USA. I had the B-8 and that had a port on one side and a smaller port on the other and it 8” sub would take and sound REALLY AMAZING with a Punch 200 bridged to 900w RMS. Nonody would believe me when I tole them it was 1 -8” speaker 🔊. Their enclosures were black laminate with Fleckstone “granite speckled end caps. Some even came self amplified. They had tubes and cubes but the rectangular B-8 & B-10 were my favorite with almost ZERO distortion. Simply amazing and ai love this channel because this man builds things that I haven’t seen in a LONG TIME like the one with the “Infinite Baffle” aka Free Air 18’s so awesome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@TheRubiks007]

Finally, something I stopped asking popped up in my feed. Perfect explanation! Learned a bunch and will probably rewatch as I plan my first box build. Sorry it took so long to find 😅

[@unklho]

When I was in college in the 90's my uncle gave me a box he pulled from a trade in car at his dealership. It was small carpeted box sealed on all sides but had a 4" PVC port sticking out of a small box about 4 inches long. It played louder and lower than anything I had heard at the time and was a single Orion Cobalt sub inside that box. Love 6th Orders, deep and clean.

[@kitkimbrough9441]

That was a really ammazing way to show what really happens in the enclosure!!!...I now understand so much more by just watching the airflow with the tuning device in frame, at the same time with an easy clear explanation of what is happening, the why, the how, the when, even the if!!..lol !!..Great job!!!..👍.

[@anthonybochman761]

So I new the concept of how it works but to see it in action working the way it should was pretty awsome!! Nice job and thanks for taking the time to show us viewers. Def appreciated!

[@romero71chris54]

Great concept and a very informative demonstration to watch. Regardless if it's parallel or not it's still a sixth order bandpass with efficiency gains across the board. Thank you for all the time and effort to give us bass heads what we crave.👍👊🙏

[@BudgetBassHead]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!

[@gsxroyce256]

This is the first I fully understand how the port tuning works. I knew how to make it work, but didn’t know what was happening. The confetti was a great idea to show how the frequency moves through.

[@travisswann6264]

Awesome vid! Visual affect of “confetti test” brought simplicity to what is sometimes difficult for people to visualize! Great real world tests, parameters, and applications!

[@jonathongaleano2893]

Wow! You had me at 6th Order! Yeah, I would've tuned at 30 and 60.

[@BudgetBassHead]

I wanted to, but the program showed a better curve with this tuning.

[@mikehonda7934]

Looking out, you should get one of them IM-SG tools for figuring out your enclosure tuning and see how far off your enclosure building program is from real world test. If you went with a higher tuning, your 6th Order for sure would have outperformed the bass reflex enclosure. HexiBase has a good breakdown of the 6th order operation of both parallel and series. The point of the 6th order is to give 2 tuning peaks, in which you can EQ your peaks to flatten a response across a wider table than a traditional 4th order bandpass (ratio defendant as well 1:1 2:1 3:1 and so on) efficiently. Which is where the 6th order bandpass order came from. Porting the sealed chamber in the 4th order.

[@JasonWW2000]

@@mikehonda7934 The IM-SG+ is a $450 device and he already has the tools that can duplicate its function. So not a good investment. I'd suggest a DATS that will plot the impedance curve on a graph. They are only $130.

[@mikehonda7934]

@@JasonWW2000 it is a good investment if you are into what Budget does. Yes the DATS does the same, but on the fly, the DATS is useless and you’ll be guessing. Do some research on the unit I mentioned, and you’ll understand it does more than what the DATS does. D’Amore Engineering has a few segments it’s design and features. Put together all of what you say he has, since you know him apparently, and get a tally up and tell me how much it comes up too. Minus the computer you need to use the DATS.

How low can you go. Pretty impressive for a small driver. This would work amazingly well with a bigger driver or 2 drivers side by side to create the width for the lower frequencies. Lots of work went into this video. Thank you. I like the ending!

[@gnastybrownbrown1571]

What sub you running in it and would it play louder with 2 subs or can that work

[@mythumbsupgettingdeleted]

finally, an enclosure befitting the 6.5 Meso....😁

[@Alkatross]

It's not that surprising that you smell the woofer using the reflex box. You really need an infrasonic filter to keep it from unloading below the tuning frequency. Win isd also has an excursion chart that shows when the woofer will bottom out (if you input the xmax) of course your first box is tuned so low you'll never have a problem. Great video!

[@Boomatronics]

When it unloads the coil leaves the gap and it heats it up so the further the coil is away from the magnet the hotter the coil is gonna get so if you keep the subwoofer within the tuning frequency of the box it keeps the coil centered within the gap and it keeps it cooler and it also increases bl.

Wow that was a great demo, Err-BTW dunno if I was hearing it wrong but yo had a massive leak 4:33 to 4:42 🤭 Ewps.. never mind as further in the video you make it known you are aware of it. Also you may want to place a little and I stress a little sound absorbing material on one of the inner chamber walls so that the Subwoofers resonant frequency is not so prominent once that, that, that thin sheet of plastic is mostly enveloped in MDF with still some strategic inner viewing. And yes I am one of those who love to feel or experience down to 10~15Hz and not hear chuffing but rather bathed in a Subsonic atmosphere or is than sensation? meh.. Once you have experienced it you should know exactly what I mean when your whole body is resonating with the room and yet without any perceivable sound to speak of..

[@evilinside5984]

BudgetBassHead, if you pause this video @ 19:07, you will see 27hz= 4.8 ohms= 28 watts! This clearly indicates that your subsonic filter of your amplifier, or processor, is massively limiting your low freq. output on your 6th order! It seems perfect for your bass reflex/ported enclosure as that is tuned @ 42hz.

[@BudgetBassHead]

Yes the amp I'm using rolls of at 30Hz. I'm getting rid of it though. Thanks.

[@evilinside5984]

@@BudgetBassHead It even seems to limit power up @ 35hz. Does this amp have an adjustable subsonic potentiometer from 10hz to 50hz? And if so, have you tryed testing with it turned all the way down to 10hz?

[@evilinside5984]

@@BudgetBassHead I ✔️ out the audiopipe amp u have on their website, and it says bandwidth 30hz to 180hz. Subsonic off=30hz, but most amps start cutting power output around 5hz higher than their lowest subsonic setting, from my testing. Like the amp i use says subsonic 10hz to 50hz, but even @ its lowest setting=10hz, it starts reducing power @ 14, or 15hz. Im glad i seen this test of yours, cause i know alot of people that were looking @ buying the audiopipe amp u r using, but never realized it stops output around 35hz n below. Most of them play modded music like me, and want to play 15hz to 50hz! Im not trying to bash what u have, but alot of people i know that demo low freq.

@@KnowName33 There is something limiting low freq.= below 33Hz or so, in this guys system= not your system. If you see the freq. sweep test he does in this video, without changing the volume, the power should be fairly close to similar @ the same/like ohm loads per freq. Example: If 37Hz was 4.8 ohms, and 200 watts, then @ 27Hz if it was 4.8 ohms the power should be around 200 watts, unless something is limiting it? Look @ 19:01 to 19:07 into this video, something is greatly reducing power output from 37Hz to 27Hz!

Thanks for Sharing

[@sukhvindermangat1087]

1st time coming across your channel, good stuff!!! Got yourself a subscriber! I was curious, think coating the port with wood glue or something would help with air flow? And was also wondering if flaring the port throughout the box would make a difference? (Like starting at 1.5" out to 3"-4" at the end of the box)

[@arturozarate1752]

Coating the port will yield little to no improvement of the "chuffing". The "flared" or "radiused" exit would help the most, however it isn't a sure resolve for port noise, and the length of the vent would have to be adjusted. Where the radius begins is the end of the length of the vent. The port velocity is too high and can be calculated to a minimum port area for a given port design. A port can be tuned to a given frequency at a calculated port area and length and yield a port velocity. The same frequency can be achieved from another port area and length and yield another port velocity. Either or may be equal to, less than, or greater than a determined velocity. That less than or equal to that velocity yields zero noise. Greater than....you get noise. The port velocity should be calculated and referenced against the threshold every time a vented enclosure of any kind is designed. Any size or shape vent is susceptible to noise. I wish it was as easy as rounding over sharp edge, adding 45° corner braces, a large radius flared vent , or coating the smooth MDF vent walls in wood glue, outfits even easier through a mathematical equation.

[@seanaskeland515]

It looks like the small side is tuned to 40 or 35 and the big side to 25 is that correct? I know you said otherwise but max port flow looked a little different

[@hybridzofficial6357]

I'm new to your channel, found it while surfing KZbin for low Bass box builds. I have a 10" CT Sounds Strato in a 1 cuft ported box (@35htz) and im looking to play lower bass notes without hurting my Sub. But im not sure about what kind of box im looking for and was hoping to learn something new. I listen to Rebassed music and the Sub is 37htz. I try to stay above 30htz but most of the good songs are in the 20s so i figure IF i get a different box maybe i can achieve the sweeps like you had in the first box.

What if you put a passive radiator behind the sub 🤔

[@commonsenseisdeadandgone]

That tri chamber looks slick, all your boxes look great, What tools do you use? Judging by a blade burn I seen at the end looks like you are running them with just a skill saw (Know how I know that mark! 🤣) One thing to note however is the reason you see 6th orders in spl builds is the construction and sheer size needed doesn't give you much option with the port size as well. Also can't do a 4th bandpass (obviously a 4the reflex aka ported is typically not even an option with more than 2-4 drivers ) is because you can't literally have a sealed section or you'll blow the box or more likely you'll blow your spiders and cones right out from the amount of air needing to be displaced (Hence why windshields blow 😂) great vid

Man, I see you're also plagued by bots in the comments. No matter, keep it up, ppl don't understand how much time, effort and resources go into prototyping and data gathering. That 6.5 might be better tuned higher, as you stated. Another thing that you might consider is getting a mic & REW to do FR sweeps (opens a whole new Pandora's Box of troubles and adjustments) but will visualize your proto box response to modeled FR response. I've an 8" Hertz sub which is waiting for its panels to do exactly what you did. Box is 1.130 ft3 @ 33Hz to 0.5 ft3 @ 60Hz = -3dB @ 30Hz and -3dB @ 90Hz. Everything above 32-33Hz to about 80Hz is above 0dB response with a peak @ 50Hz +4.5dB. Driver specs are more important in those type of boxes than anything else. Cheers. P.S.

[@johndough8115]

What would happen if you added two Passives into this build ? Maybe on the Top... or on both the front and rear panels ? Phillips created a unique Passive system called "Woox". It consisted of two unique passives that I believe have three expansion rings... and both passives were stacked about 1" apart from each other, mounted to a special open-air assembly... and then screwed in place to the speaker. (So, thats 4 passives total. Two per speaker) Interestingly enough... I believe these speakers ALSO had ports on the rears of them. I dont know if the ports were tuned, or just for passing excess air pressures. It would be cool if someone replicated the Woox passives, but on a much larger scale.. making a Frankenstein version of it... by gluing 3 Foam Surrounds of different diameters, into a single flat passive (x2). The phillips woox speakers that I owned, were part of a boom box, that were powered by 6.5" diameter woofers. When they rotted out, I looked into replacing them... and found out that these woofers were specially designed for longer Travel / Extension... to be able to deal with the greater bass excitement, without suffering any over-extension distortions. Also, to help excite the Woox units. If you are not sure what the woox unit looks like... google for the Images... and you will find some photos of it, pulled out of the speaker. Those little woox speakers put out more deep low end bass... than my 12" techniques 3-way house speakers. Even at maximum volume levels (where they were almost ready to blow), I couldnt get them to distort the bass. Pretty amazing design. Sadly, mine had the foam based Woox assembles.. and they eventually cracked and rotted out. They did make an all plastic version... but sadly, I never got my hands on a set with them. I had thought about trying to reproduce a plastic version... using Hot Melt plastic and a Vacuum molding device. I worked at a place that had such a unit... though, I believe a heat gun and a vacuum, can make a decent DIY home version. Simply carve out the ring shapes in wood, glue them to a thin board, and then pull the vacuum mold on it. With the 3 expansion rings instead of two... you get a lot more expansion / excursion, than a typical passive. I couldnt tell if the woox units had weights in the center of them. They were very light in mass. I should have tried putting a magnet to them.. but I never thought about it, at the time.

5:22 this reminds me of back I n the mid to late 90s going to the Bose store and pressing the demo button and watching that plexi glass subwoofer enclosure they had and watch all the Styrofoam BBs move around while it pissed off the store employees who had to listen to that every day

Budget bass head can you try building a 5th order Band pass?

[@carft1234]

Have you tried a Infinite baffle setup yet would love for you to make a video on it

[@BudgetBassHead]

Not yet. If I get enough people requesting it I will

[@cherrychevys]

I would love to see this same enclosure and test done with cotton balls.

[@loganb5657]

What system are you using to test the subwoofer’s

[@pgroadglide1581]

So, I was a my first Bass show (idk what they're called). A guy had a box that he said was switchable from 2,4 and 6th order box with PVC pipe and some ball valves. The ball valves let him switch between them. How does one design something like that?

[@BudgetBassHead]

Great question. I would love to see that

If each end was a horn. On the long side slant everything so the last line forms a horn and on the short side start a horn shape from near to the last interior brace. You might have made the long one. bit too long no?

Where you at??? I pray you are okay.

[@BudgetBassHead]

Doing fine. Life is just too busy to do vids. Some content on the way though.
