Why??????????????

Do you have a serious midbass setup? If your reply is no, or yes followed by some 6.5" comp mids you think are strong on midbass (they arent), you almost definitely dont want bandpass.

Wait, could somebody explain to me why though? I always figured bandpass was better for accuracy

What kind of TS params do youi look for in a BP sub?

Actully, a properly designed/built BP enclosure will display less distortion than will its sealed counterpart. Im surprised in you 80, being such a BP fan, that you dont realize this advantage. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

The biggest disadvantage with BP is its relatively narrow bandwidth. Even well built BP's, while certainly not being 'one note wonders', still display a fairly narrow useable freq band. Therefore a significant midbass setup is needed to extend down to the BP's freq band, and [try to] match its output level.

So basically I'd have to have great midbass speakers to compensate?

Most likely, yes.

Have you tried putting it in a little bit smaller sealed enclosure, like around 0.65 before displacement?

Dont Go Bandbass Go Vented.

Dont Go Bandbass Go Vented.

I'm not so sure about that. Type X's excel in sealed enclosures. Qts = 0.54

Might be worth a shot though.... [shrug]
