So basically sealed is 2nd order because it only has the subwoofer to radiate sound. Ported/passive radiator is 4th order because of the active driver and the passive port/radiator working together. 4th order bandpass has the active driver basically in a sealed box with a port/passive radiator on top of that. 6th and 8th are just more complex versions of 4th order bandpass. I’m probably dumbing it down but that’s my understanding of it. Or what I gathered from watching the video at least.

You're correct about group delay (charge storage) with high order filters. But high order filters can also (especially when the damping factor is poor; eg, most passive networks) be synonymous with moving coil transducers "ringing" as they try, but fail, to follow the SPL-descent that the sharp Xover slope describes/defines. This 1 reason why (in speaker/monitor design) you often (but not always) see high order Xovers (4th order and higher) usually implemented in active systems; where there is no passive network between the amplifier output stage and the transducer itself; therefore optimizing damping and other Xover design considerations. Appreciate that here, in this video, you're mostly talking about acoustic filters, as opposed to electric filters. Still, there are always compromises, as high order acoustic filters introduce some funky considerations to the impedance/phase plots.

In my opinion 6th order bandpass is as sweet spot. Lower range, 2 control points and not much distortion. Only drawback in my eyes is it's size. For as compact design as possible you have to sacrifice a lot and spend huge amout of time with calculations and design for compromiss.

I've built an 6th and an 8th, the 8th is a triple reflex type, tuned to 39, 75 and 105 Hz. The driver is just an entry level Orion Cobalt 10 inch, rated at 200 watts RMS, with an F/S frequency of 39 Hz. I built if for my car, and it's by far the loudest 200 watts I've herd, and it compliments rock, especially considering the Bass Guitar's lowest note is roughly 41 Hz. It was very experimental, and i'm far from an expert. My 12 inch Alpine type R is in a 6th order, that is loud, but it it's only good for hip-hop, rhythm and blues, Electronic music, as it starts topping out at 70ish Hz, the 8th however gets well into the 120- 130 Hz. And yes it's a beast, like 40 Kg.

Some engineers at Bose modeled group delay from cascaded vents and chambers and found they could cascade about 10 chambers before group delay became objectionable in listening tests. Now, that's Bose talking, but somebody did try it. I learned this from a former Bose engineer who designed many of their stereo speakers from the 1990s (though not the Acoustimass cube systems).

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, time, and efforts. I can see this as my "the place it started" point and good sense would make me run away right this minute but now I have questions... haha. I'm from the era where Jensen 6x9" coaxs and 20wpc booster were an awesome upgrade, and not surprisingly I still have the old Radio Shack book on speaker enclosures from about the same era (70's) One of the projects is a multiple chamber bandpass but I can't tell what order it is because the primary chamber is vented to the front of the box as well as the secondary chamber. Both chambers have a front facing port and it's a 2:1 ratio box they reported tuning to 35/70hz. I don't get what the primary chamber port to the front and speaker facing the front does to the order count though. My guess is 8th order because of the three ports, two chambers. That search for tuning math and a better understanding of order counts leads me to here and your excellent content. Now, after watching this a couple of times, I tried finding your 5.25 design. I fear it's lost in the webs. I'm really interested in the tuning part and I'd love to find it if the design is still posted somewhere. Any pointers would be fantastic. Thanks!

Awesome job buddy! One from hundreds knows his stuff... :-) But again, carefully with the efficiency. These enclosures are not THAT efficient. Very big chunk of that is that the enclosure just can load the driver. That also means there will be lowe impedance, more current, more power, therefore more sound. The box does add some efficiency, but not all of it, at all....

Is a 8th order hybrid or a fourth order enclosure something I should continue to explore? To do this, I am very aware that I would need to put the enclosure in the bed and cut through to the cab. Now as I am trying to grasp at my youth, I am not trying to bring along the ignorance I had in tow. Before I do something crazy like this I would love some solid advice.

To be too large to not be practical is subjective to say the least. Don't dismiss them for the rest of the world because they don't have useful application for you. I happen to use a large bank of horn loaded subwoofers in my mobile dj rig and they do a great job and they run on 1/4 the power that a direct radiator bass reflex rig would require to be equally as loud.
