SQPunk Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Greetings all, I recently purchased a 1970 El Camino that I would like to install a SQ system in. There really isn't a lot of room behind the seat so I am contemplating something like a bandpass box ported down through the smuggler's box from the bed into the cab.Every time I have listenned to band pass boxes in the past, they did not have a flat response. Is it even possible to get a flat response out of one? I don't want to have to adjust my output with an eq more than just minor tweaks.I am planning on running a RF t2500 to either 12" or 15" subs(pair) and a T1000-4 to the rest of the system when done. This should have more than enough power for good headroom when listening at realistic volume levels.Anyways, Thanks in advance for any help.

Triticum Agricolam Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 You can definitely get even response out of a bandpass box, you are just going to have to give up some efficiency to do it, though if you aren't concerned about SPL numbers that shouldn't be much of an issue. Some subs will work better in a bandpass box than others, have you given thought to what subs you want to use? I would suggest playing around in some modeling software like WinISD to see what kind of frequency response you are after. We can help you with that if you need.

SQPunk Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I messed with WinISD but the port dimensions seemed wrong to me. The subs I am going to run are the American Bass VFL series. Either in 15" or 18".Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
