4th Order Bandpass

[SPLadd1ct]

most 4th orders are used for burping because you can build them to get loud at a certain frequency, but i would not recondmend them for a daily setup because they are very peaky.

example: it might play 35hz very strong but anything over 45hz will be very quiet. bandpass boxes are known as "one note wonders" which means you will hit like 1 out of 5 notes in a song.

i use to have an alpine type-r 10 in a 4th order and it was alright, but then i build a t-line for it and it was a night and day difference plus it got just as loud.

there are different ways to tune a 4th order. You can do it the way your describing it where you get a small range of Frequency response, and you can peak very well for competition.

BUT if they are tuned right They can give a wider stronger response than a ported box. They are normally very efficient, if built right that is.

^^Exactly this.^^

Bandpass boxes can be wicked if you design and build them correctly.
