Can someone explain to me what a B4 alignment is?
B4 is a vented box....."B"utterworth "4"th-order. The Butterworth characteristic describes a maximally flat response with no peaking (Q=0.707), and the 4th-order describes the ultimate roll-off characteristic. In this case 4th-order or 24db per octave.
There are literally thousands of online texts describing vented and sealed-box alignments. You can Google this and find numerous excellent articles.
