4 8" 4th Order Bandpass?!?!?!?!

[manny1337]

Okay well ive got my re x 8 coming in soon (jan 5th) ive got some time to think of a box. Has anyone on here ever done a 4th order bandpass with 8's? Is there any benefits/loss of bandpass over a normal ported enclosure? Who on here can design me a box? or is there anywhere i can find some already made layouts? Just trying to get a better know how about bandpass. thanks :)

oops ment jan my bad :)

[manny1337]

anyone?

[galacticmonkey]

Yes.

I'm gonna ask this because although i dont have your answer, someone who knows how to design a bandpass box would want to know. What are you trying to achieve overall? If you are planning any kind of resemblance to SQ then a bandpass box is not what you want... Properly tuned it will still have a higher rolloff rate than a properly tuned ported box.

Im just trying to get these 8's as loud as i can. Does a bandpass box really kill sq that bad? sorry ive never got into bandpass. i guess there is always a time to learn =P

Apparently you dont know too much about bandpass. Ive had two 4th orders and they sounded great.

[manny1337]

well fill me with info :) any link or anything i can read would help :)

oh man thanks for the great tip. already did it though befor i post this topic ;)

[iamamp3pimp]

so if it is a design you are looking for, i can handle it for you

heres the last 4th order that i designed, it's for a pair of 12's, being build as we speak

heres another, absolutely destroying anything down low, and sounding really nice from what i have been told

While these are larger than what you will be working with, i am fully confident that i would be able to design something that would sound how you want it to sound.

given the proper space requirements of course.
shoot me a pm or an email if you are interested, with the dimentions that you are working with.

[manny1337]

so im assuming with a bandpass the subs die out over 50hz?

While you are correct about the rolloff, its not entirely difficult to make a 4th order play exactly how you want it too.

and manny, no, that isnt not true at all. Most of my requests for a 4th order specify that the person wants it to play safely between 20-75 hz

and they do just that.

they are peaky for sure, but they are entirely more efficent and safe at higher power levels than a standard ported enclosure, in my opinion.

[manny1337]

how much do you charge for a design =P

You know how to do 6th orders?

[iamamp3pimp]

i do.

i had my wifes old accent doing 135's off of 125 watts and a very low end eclipse 12
