Need help with a 4th order bandpass box

[Brian Owens 10+ year member]

First attempt at a Bandpass Box.

I just built a 4th order BP box for a Panasonic 10" woofer, and it sounds terrible. Not "bandpass" bad, just designed wrong. The frequency response is WAY off.

Here is what I have:

Panasonic 10" t/s

Vas: 42 L

Fs: 30.0 Hz

Qts: 0.37

I input that into the calculator on carstereo.com and came up with:

Volume front = .397 ft^3

Volume rear = .533 ft^3

Fb (front side) = 58.3 Hz

Frequency response ~ 35-90 Hz

Added sub displacement and port displacement to the front and rear volumes and built the box.

Due to the small area, I could only get a 3" port into the enclosure. Maybe that is too small? Calculated a 3" x 12" long port.

Anybody tell me what to do different?????

Thanks!
