Bandpass
Back in the day when I was building car audio systems bandpass style enclosures were very popular. I was wondering if anyone thought of doing a 4th order closure in the trunk of our cars? If so, what is the popular sub used for such a system?

Not many people will probably want to add the weight of a bandpass or even a regular ported box to this car, i hope not anyways.

Depends what kind of bass your looking for really, seems most people now days like the quietness and deep toned bass of a sealed box, but it all depends on the sub ..

OP, you might want to jump over to diymobileaudio.com
Questions like yours will find a better audience over there. If you look around, there's a few guys messing with folded horns, bandpass, and transmission line enclosures. And of course ported, IB and sealed. |

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.
