Yep just a 4th order bandpass. Its 'better' than a normal enclosure because the 'seller' says so. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Actually, 4th order bandpasses can provide better transient response than regular bass reflex enclosures...but it requires extensive planning and excelllent construction work //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Both of which I wouldn't expect from that auction...

They 'can' sure... but this one wont. Its a prefab obviously, and chances of it working well are slim and none. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But yeah, in the right context, a Bandpass setup can work very well.

I never understood why compaines make these type of boxes but dont spend the time or money to make it nice. It seems like it would be better for business cause the sub would sound soo much better if that was deisgned correctly.

Also many people think that a box can turn a shitty sub into a decent one, so couldnt they even cut back on the build of the sub, then put it in a rly nice box and get the same results cheaper?
