8" Bandpass Subwoofer Enclosure

Is bandpass good? I am limited by my parents on how big they'' let get the sub. I wont try my luck with anything bigger than 10".

How good a bass can u get from a 8" or 10 ". Should it be loud enuff to penetrate the rear seat in a chevy cavalier?

thanks

An 8 inch sub in any enclosure will put out the equivilent of a pair of 6x9's in the trunk of a cavalier, go with a high quality 10 and you should get some good bass response, Audiomobile makes some of the best 10's on the market today.

hello

so something like the MTX T610A 10" Hatchback Subwoofer in the trapezoid box, would but out good bass running off its reccomended Rms wattage, without too much " Advertising"

i jus want better bass in my car w/ the windows cranked up, than the 6x9's in the rear deck put out. not too loud as the compnents may not be in the car too long, if they are advertised.

IF you are up to some customizing- (minimal) and want a good response. I would slightly modify your rear deck to hold 2 JL Audio 8W3's. You will need to slightly cut the rear deck to accomodate the larger diameter speaker. Then build a sealed enclosure that will fasten directly to the rear deck from the bottom. Fabricate a new rear deck cover- and have the subs firing strait up mounted in your rear deck. This design typically will yeild an extra 3db in output, and will certainly make the music seem more defined.

The enclosure should be small enough that it virtually takes up very little space in the trunk- making parents happy too.

This is a design I used in my old car with a set of JL Audio 12W6's and Infinity Perfect 12.1's. - it is a little work, but very much worth the results.

If you would like to know a little more about this- I'd be glad to explain- and walk you through step by step.

Take it easy,
