[QUOTE="DCMax22, post: 377297, member: 552455"] Finally, someone is coming into this forum that is "logical". Let me add, each enclosure, when used properly, is it's own different entity in itself. One cannot keep saying this is better than that, or sounds better than that. All speakers, enclosures, amps, capacitors, etc. are relative. This means any combination of a total set up holds its own for what it is designed to produce, and accompany (as in an enclosure that is added to an existing system of bass and treble speakers) and may be running in it's own class. It's time for this forum to realize, or I am beginning to think that most of the posters on here are juvenile. A bandpass enclosures best performance is when it be added to a current full car system, as in bass and treble existing speakers. The bandpass box is exclusively constructed and set up (crossed over) to produce the narrow subsonic sound. That's what it is for, so get over it. A bandpass box is not made to be your only bass box unless you plan on missing out on frequencies. My bandpass box only plays the super low 808 bass, and kick drum. Therefore, when you listen to it, it is truly amazing. It kicks, thumps, and hums just when it is supposed to. Sometimes they sit there and do nothing, until its time. It's not the only sub I have. I have a small sealed sub to ensure low full spectrum bass. It is a whole different ball park kids. It actually emulates a live concert, when a show is running a 3 or 4 way system, the subs kick out the super lows only, as in [URL="http://www.nowonsale.com/ppf/itemname/Electro+Voice+MTL1X+Super+1200+Watt+Horn+Loaded+18%22+Subwoofe/item/MTL1X/itempage.asp"][COLOR=#0000a0]EV[/COLOR][/URL] and [URL="http://www.eaw.com/products/item_new.phtml?part_number=0000513"][COLOR=#0000a0]EAW[/COLOR][/URL] pro auditorium subs.
