just do ported!

running so many woofers its not that simple to go ported. if it were ud think someone would have had 12 15's ported or 24 12's ported by now. u probally can do it but u wouldnt have much of an choice of it being semi-6th order bandpass just by the way u have the woofers setup

Putting this in a moving van? You don't have enough space in a normal vehicle to do a proper bandpass for anything remotely approaching 12 15s. I've seen one large scale bandpass in a car. It was a Pathfinder walled off behind the front seats and there was just enough room behind the box for a small amp rack. That was for a whole 4 15s.

I normally wouldn't agree with Kovemaster up there, but this time he's right. Go ported.

Bandpass = Sounds like ***.

I often use alot more than 24 woofers at time, but not in a car...

You can do a port for each woofer, or each pair, or groups of 4 woofers and still keep the set up very simple. Even with dozens of woofers.

Actully if built properly they have a very flat curve with good output,without the peakyness of some ported enclosures.

OP what kinda vehicle.I agree wit the others without a van or large SUV you won't get the 12 15's you want.

you do not have the room for that kind of box. in your truck bro. Well maybe for 4 15 but even then your inside can not be more then 60 wide? To do a right bandpass you need all of the sub right behind the loading wall and not pass it

there is no way you have the room, ported will move some air

 

[tooloud4tv 10+ year member]

ok so im going to scrap the bandpass idea and just do 24 12 or 10s ported.

 

[tooloud4tv 10+ year member]

or either 8 Badass 15s ported. 32hz maybe?

thats what im going to do i figured out an way to clamshell 24 12 or 10s and still be ported. trying to figure out really what size subs i want to go with im thinking of 15's like i said if i do the 15's id do somebadass 15s like BL's L7's IA DR, something like that otherwise the 24 10's or 12's would be CVRS or something along those lines.
