banpass vs ported

[TahoeGoBoom]

you'll never see anything sealed in any of my cars. but i'm an SPL guy, so theres the difference.
and what the hell song plays at 20 hz?

as far as the mmats, uhhh, iirc, theyre sealed on the back side, but reversed, with plexi, and wires reversed, so technically theyre sealed on the front. if that makes sense.

the reason i love bandpass, its loud, acoustic, and pretty...

this is prior to getting new wires for the speakers. they look like crap in this pic..

plenty songs play below 33hz.....

personal prefernces I guess, I can't stand bandpass, sealed for me

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

I suppose your right. It's all personal preference. I just don't like the sound I get from a sealed box. But that's just IMO

I've always been a fan of sealed, seemed to be the best over all range for a full range of music. I have no system in this truck, all my past stereos were crammed into a S-10 regular cab. I managed to get to twelves in there and it was loud IMO. the only competition I did in it was either 139 or 141 DB, not too bad I guess for a rookie at the time.

I've had a few well built ported enclosures that changed people's opinions of a ported system, still like sealed more than anything since I'm over the hair trick ********. I like hearing my music. The 4 ported 15's with 1000rms/ea in my acura was ridiculous tho...140db+ is just obnoxious.

i like my sealed box. hits good and clean with my usual XM listenings.

I've built many of all the different types but prefer the sealed just because it's a smaller package. I do enjoy making the bandpass enclosures because they are a little more involved and cooler looking.

Here is a sealed one I am building for a 68 SS Camaro that we are restoring. It's in the fit up stage so it has to come back out and be sprayed with Lizard Skin. The plexi on the front is being covered with blue Illusion film and back lit to match the blue lights on the Alpine PDX amps.

i like spl too much to go sealed. lol

 

[blueflamed03]

i like spl too much to go sealed. lol

I hit 151.5db with a sealed enclosure and I didn't even even have my truck set up for SPL.
I built a selaed enclosure for one of my friend's 01 Accord for three 12" subs and it hit 150.1db on the dash.

i was pushing the 170's with my 12 10s in a sealed box

 

[thumper_ehhhhh]

thats some serious db levels. I was happy when I saw 130 db's on my system but thats with only 535watts of amps and only 2 jbl subs. 200 watts to the subs only the rest for mids and highs. Thats more than enough for me.

mic in the port?

 

[Max]

mic in the port?

louder than the Gates bronco and shit.

 

[blueflamed03]

I've seen 170's, in port wars

 

[DJTricky]

lol mic right between the sub "v" like the shape of my box is kind of a v. So the mic is right in the middle. Up on the dash i do 158.64. Lol

 

[blueflamed03]

158.64 Termlab, legal?

 

[DJTricky]

yes.

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

well either way, the question was PORTED or BANDPASSED. you all fail. lol

since were off topic anyway, anyone know what meade hits?
