    4th order bandpass enclosure (fi Q 12")

    Do your seats fold down at all or is there a ski-pass section/pull out arm rest for the back seats that leads into the trunk from the cabin? Yes a 4th order bandpass can be an option in a trunk car but i would usually only do one on high powered setups with multiple subs or box taking up the whole trunk not allowing adequate air flow. Another possible reason for a bandpass would be if your cars' gas tank was behind the seats. With you having a single q I would just recommend building a ported box to manufacturers specs and see how it treats you. If you build the box shouldn't cost more than 50 bucks. Would be the cheapest option. If really wanting to gain output from the trunk, remove rear speakers from back and leave open. You could also try firing the port and sub forward, sealing the trunk from the cabin. If a 4th order bandpass is your only solution right now then do like 95honda said and do your homework. Dont pick just random ratios, try to understand what you are doing. Just my .02 and good luck

    building bandpass for 15, need some advice.

    So when will this useless thread come to an end, 5 pages deep with no means of coming to a conclusion. People trying to explain things to someone who doesnt care to get it or just cant get it. This is what happens when you feed the trolls, they keep coming back for more.
  3. Im guessing somebody told there friends from other boards about SSA and bandpass 4th order enclosures. Because every recent, horrible thread is just about that. Haha, i think its hilarious.

      4th orders are popular now as they have a stronger peak, but tend to have poorer frequency response, so in todays market where SQ is less of a focus...

      They want spl from cheaper subs. But sound good to.

      It's a fad....

      they want to be loud. Like Aaron said it comprises sq. They just don't understand it requires a ton of wasted space.

    Quick Question - Sub wire gauge

    Why set your lpf so high? I dont go past 63hz, your mids should take over from there.

    haha, somebody has sand where it doesnt belong. If you still dont understand nobody called you idiot then thats on you buddy. Once again an idiotic statement does not mean your are an idiot but if you wanna believe thay then hey i cant help that. I will say it to your face too, so chill out acting like your billy badass. Im not even gonna entertain the rest because your getting emotional and dont have time to deal with a grown man and his emotions. Plus i actually tried to get you to understand you weren't being called an idiot but obviously that went over your head like everything else.
