3 Chamber Single Reflex Bandpass Enclosure

Recommended Posts

I purchased 2 Stereo Integrity SQL-12s & I'm awaiting their arrival. I was planning to try them in a 3 Chamber Single Reflex Bandpass enclosure with both sealed chambers @ 1 cuft each & 4 cuft for the ported chamber. I've been told to tune between 45 - 55 Hz. I'm using a round port as well. WinISD gives some funky results using 2:1 ported/sealed ratio. Can anyone check & post their findings using this ratio in this type of enclosure? If needed, I currently have 2300 watts RMS I can supply them with.

So what are you goals for this system?  What kind of usable bandwidth are you looking for?  

 

Unfortunately ratios are just a really oversimplified way of designing a bandpass box.  Its not that they are wrong, its just that they aren't always right.  I'm glad you are looking at things in WinISD, its a powerful tool and is very useful for making comparisons between different enclosures.  Just keep in mind that the frequency response you are going to get in a vehicle is going to be very different than what WinISD shows.

I'd like more (louder) low end output with a broader response across the board. I was successful in accomplishing this with 2 Stereo Integrity RM-12s with 4.6 cuft on 1200 Watts in an '03 Mini Cooper. This SQL-12 project is for a Tesla Model 3 which is proving to be more challenging acoustically.
