Bandpass designs

I sure hope you guys that are ''modeling'' are including cabin gain other wise it's much worse then experienced guesses
I'd like to pm you - but your mail box is full.

If you want SQ. you need to stick to sealed with these subs. That will give you the flattest fr. with cabin gain. For ported these subs won't have the sq of sealed. But they will be much louder. Just my 2 cents.

 
How much space do you have for a box? I don't want to design a box that won't fit!

How big is the sealed box you have now? Just to compare to what I modeled. And did you like it before you blew it up?

Ok, this is for one P1 @ 150 watts. (I know you will be using 2;))

The blue line is sealed response in 1cf. 80hz lp (Low pass crossover)

Green is ported 1.4cf tuned to 27hz (yes this is very low, It makes the FR roll off like a sealed box) 80hz lp

Red is band pass, about 1.3cf. NO lp filter.

I tried to make the boxes roll off to account for cabin gain. At first glance the ported box looks good. But it starts to roll off lower than the cg should start, so it could be "boomy." And unless you listen to music with bass lower than 41hz the band pass is louder. A single sub in the bandpass should be about as loud as 2 sealed. (In theory/on paper)

I'd like anyone with experience to give their opinion please.

Thank you,

Duane
