I hear you. Back in the day bandpass boxes were all the rage because subwoofer technology was not all there. The key to a bandpass box (aside from the obvious) is that it hides the distortion generated from the woofer. You can throw a POS subwoofer in a bandpass box and get some nice deep bass output because you couldn't hear the subwoofer crying for help. Generally, when I saw a blown subwoofer it was in a bandpass box. Also, to the trained ear, you can hear the delay generated from using such a box. I know I usually could.
Personally, the BRZ/FR-S is so small that an nth-order box is not necessary. In my opinion, my sealed box in my BRZ hits harder than any box I've had in any other car. The size requirements for a bandpass box vs the increased output make it not worth it for me.
