Freshman6969 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 theres a thread with all the terms you can think of defined lemme see if i can dig it up, and DO NOT USE PLYWOOD! MDF can be found at lowes homedepot or any home improvment store really, and why do you want a bandpass? Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

k3n12ock Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Bandpass subwoofer? You mean a bandpass box? First off, what kind of sub is it? It'll probably be easier to build a ported box for it instead being it's easier to design/build. Also, you can buy mdf from Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Quote 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevyman217 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Dude don't build a band-pass box. You make on little screw up and the whole box is junk. Just build a ported.

AudioMasterKing Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) well the woofer comes from like a home audio system like speaker system. but bumps really good its for my computer, it is for a stereo like for ur home but im gona use it for my computer. i just want the sub to have its own box and i want to know what kind of box do i make and how big should i make it so the box isnt to big or to little for the one 15". idk about bandpass thats why im asking. all i want is a simple ported or non ported box. wat do you guys think i should use since my woofer isnt exactly name brand and it isnt made for cars. and yes ther are lowes around me how much is mdf? or whatever mfd whichever. and its about how much? and how many sheets do i need for one 15"?
