[QUOTE="Boomintempo, post: 6501047, member: 612891"] Well, some people on here (Galactic Monkey) gave me the idea of tuning to 50hz, then the rest I kinda toyed with WinISD and Bassboxpro. It's getting the design so it'll fit in your car that's the tricky part. Just gotta make lots of measurements and be sure your right...obviously my port could have been done better, but it's my first bandpass build, so whatever. I can fold down the seats. Not too big on losing all functionality of the car...yet [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] The mechman alt is doing ok...it's just a pain to have to keep re-adjusting the alternator to get the belt **** tight so no squeals. I've had to adjust it so many times, loosen the power steering belt to let the alternator move more upwards to get the belt tighter...it's been a pain, and feel bad for other accord owners who have to go through this too! Don't buy a 99 Honda Accord if you want a HO alt! Yeah, my template was crappy...that's the ONE portion of the build that I was in a rush on, just because I wanted to go to bed...OOps! DOOO EEEEETTT Yeah, the car isn't just for me. Sometimes my wife and I go places with friends, so it's nice to be able to tote peeps around. I have 6x9's in the back too...most people on here don't like that! HA! Thanks! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif[/IMG] LOL, yeah man that would be pretty funny! Gonna have to try that and see if I can get it to pop open. They're type x's. Got them for VERY cheap and honestly are the best subs I've ever owned. Granted that's probably not saying much, as the last subs I owned were RF Punch HX 2, then Punch DVC, then just reg old Punchs...yeah...huge difference about 9 years makes. I'm very happy though with the way things turned out. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif[/IMG] Yeah yeah yeah, I was actually in a rush and that's what happens when you're in a rush. Things get half assed. Really wanted to get to bed, probably should've just saved it for the next day. Only had two days off and wanted to get the box done in those two days. I think next time maybe I won't use so much wood glue, takes forever to dry. I am a little [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif[/IMG] about the holes...tee hee The last bandpass that I had, it was 2 12" punch dvc's and it was loud...very sloppy, but loud. It was ported through the rear deck of my last vehicle. I've never heard a bandpass like this though. It's so clean it really confuses me. It's just as clean as my sealed box, but it's wayyyyyyyyy louder. I honestly though this box was probably going to sound like SH!T, very peaky. Not the case though! Well, my subs were purchased from an American that just got back from a tour in Korea, never really got to use 'em...the rest of my stuff is from sonic electronics or knu. The german audio scene really isn't that big, and most shops are just crazy with what they charge. 300 euro for a SEALED ENCLOSURE...what a joke. Not too many Germans bumpin'...it's actually quite nice, LOL. [/QUOTE]
