Now i want the truth is that the best box to get or can i do better with somthing else. now for that very reason is why i havn't gotten the subs, i kinda want to know what i should get 10 or 12. and all this has to fit in my dodge mangum.

Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) that box you're talking about is called a bandpass box. but its most likely tuned SUPER HIGH from factory so it only can play a narrow band of frequencies (like 50-60hz for example). first off ill ask what kind of money do you have to spend, and for what EXACTLY you need (various wires, wood/glue/materials to make a box, woofers etc). do you want straight out SPL and you wont care how it sounds or SQ where you want it to sound like sex to your ears?

Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 spl for me its not going to matter how it sounds what is spl and sq?? still not answering my question bro....here ill copy paste it to make it a little easier for you... spl = sound pressure level, sq = sound quality "first off ill ask what kind of money do you have to spend, and for what EXACTLY you need (various wires, wood/glue/materials to make a box, woofers etc). do you want straight out SPL and you wont care how it sounds or SQ where you want it to sound like sex to your ears?"
