Can someone please help me design a 4th order band pass box for a pair of Hertz HX300D (Dual 4ohm) 12's? I suck at box design, although I can build just about anything, I need a design for it to work. The box I'd like to go in the trunk of my 2006 Honda Civic Ex Sedan. The area I have to work with is 41.25" wide x 15" tall x ?? deep. It has a 30 degree rake on the seat to be most space economical, needs to be a wedge type box. I have a pass through that i cut out of my back seat behind an arm rest. The opening is 11" tall by 6" wide. I can extend that to 13" x 9" (one inch all the way around)but I'd prefer to leave a little space if possible to make a grill to cover the hole.

Again, I suck at box design, aside from sealed and anyone can figure out a sealed box, but I am interested in a 4th order utilizing the pass through. I'm going to do a couple of ideas on good ole MS Paint today so that can help someone in what my thoughts are. Hopefully we can get this figured out quickly. Thanks!

If you're local to sac and want to take a look at the platform (car) let me know and I'll see what I can work out for time and scheduling.

Ok here are a couple of MS Paint Drawings I've made up. You can kind of see what I'm attempting here. I'll also get some pictures in the car this morning and get those posted up as well. Thanks for all help in advance.

Ok here's a couple of pictures.

From the trunk, view of the pass through open, or arm rest down.

The duct tape, BTW, is cause it's not finished yet and the metal is sharp as hell! I know, I already cut myself on it.

So what do you guys think? What if i just build two sealed enclosures the way the design shows, and then just butt it up to the seat? What would happen as far as sound? Anyone know or care to take a guess. I'm seriously uneducated in this department, box design. Thanks!

The single-reflex band pass enclosure is basically a combination of a sealed and vented enclosure. These can be fairly small enclosures, though larger than a sealed enclosure. They offer great power handling, good low frequency response, but are not as efficient as vented enclosures (top of this page), and are more complex to build. However, when built correctly, these make excellent enclosures and are often used by competitors. This is often referred to as a fifth order enclosure, but it's not. The addition of a crossover makes it a fifth order system.

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

You might have better luck in the Subwoofer/Enclosure forum.
