[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1495475, member: 550915"] It won't. That's the answer as far as prefab bandpass goes. A properly made basndpass must be specifically tailored to the sub(s) going in it. If it is off even just a bit it will sound bad, won't be as loud and could destroy the sub with minimal power. Bandpass boxes are very much a "one size fits none" type of deal. Most of the people that say "bandpass ****" have only ever heard the prefab boxes. And based on what they hav heard, they are well justified in what they think. However, a properly designed and well built bandpass enclosure can sound great and be really efficient. As much a +6dB compared to a sealed enclosure. They get loud with less power but typically can't handle as much power either. The cone of the sub is being damped by 2 chambers of air and since the box mask the noises of a speaker in distress, it becomes quite easy to literally rip the voicecoil loose from the cone and not realize it until it is too late.
