use a sealed box if u want better sq. ported if you want loudness.

can i make one really small port to add minmal spl while still maintaining good sq???

no, you would just have it ported to a VERY bad tuning range....

i wouldn't add a tiony hole, it would just ruin a good sealed box

What will a bandpass box do to sq and spl?

 

[jaygeorge1979 10+ year member]

a bandpass eliminates practically all sq while pumping good spl...if u have good spl subs....

Are the 12" Type R Subs good for spl?

First of all, dont say ported boxes cant have good SQ. U dont know ****. He can port it and tune to low 30's and have great sound. The Alpine type R's are awsome subs. They have great SQ and If u port them, U get both SPL and SQ.

The box I have is a ported bandpass. So I should get good SQ and SPL?

Thanks man,

Chris

3000 watt mtx system in your dads car and you are 13. Haha thats just hilarious to picture, sorry.. Do you have two 81000d's or what? 3000 watts thats a gripload.. Sq is sound quality.. i'm not sure if you knew that or not.. spl is sound pressure level (created by sound, particulary bass, which is what the term means to car audio)

next time start a new thread to ask something like that.. not in the middle of someone elses thread...
