[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 7255859, member: 617319"] Just picked up another Boston GTR 12" for $25, bnib! Needed to kill time before work, so I decided to check out the local Stereo King just for fun. Turns out they had a "garage sale" going on. Nothing really stood out, until I got to the very end of the room and saw that little gem sitting there for $25 [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] What should I do with this one? I now have two of them. What if I used them in conjuction with my Earthquake DBXi10s in a bandpass enclosure, where the subs are inside the box facing towards the port which will fire into the cabin, and the passive radiators mounted on the rear baffle firing towards the trunk? Would that be redundant, or would it allow me to reduce the enclosure size like I was hoping to do? My trunk has a little "step-up" on the north-end, likely to clear the rear differential. It is maybe a foot and a half deep before it steps down, so I was hoping to fit a proper enclosure that just sits on that little step-up portion. I understand that Passive radiators are meant to be used in a sealed enclosure, which will net the gains of a ported box in a smaller package, but considering that bandpass enclosures are like sealed boxes within a ported enclosure, that should still work as intended, right?
