A bandpass is a ported encloseure.Ported extends low bass frequencies,but a sealed box gives tighter bass.The number of speakers depends on your preference and the way they face is your choice too,since bass is non directional,eddienyr said:whats a band pass? I am trying to keep it looking as stock as possible. I am changing the stock HU but I will be keep the rest of the system. I'm thinking about adding the sub, since a friend of mine has an amp he's giving me. So whats better one speaker or two, and which way should they face and why?

Please dont correct unless your sure of what your saying,I have been in the audio industry way too long.Check any book,site or whatever else and correct yourself.Infinity02Zinc said:Wrong answer. A sealed box can play linearly all the way down to a DC input. A ported box can be tuned around the accoustical response of the chamber it will be playing in, or to give the most output at a car's resonant frequency. No one box will give you tighter bass as a generalization- it's all in the install.

Care to show me this somewhere?
Ported-A fourth order enclosure (vented box) is a sealed enclosure with the additon of a port tuned to a specific frequency. The port extends the low frequency response of the basic sealed enclosure usually providing a lower cut-off frequency.
Why are you telling me this? At what point did I even mention a bandpass enclosure?
Im not going to go into great detail about what i've built or what i've done,but I spent the last few years repping,R&D and tech for audio companies as well as being on the design team of of the SPL record holder in the U.S. and also other teams from Germany and the Netherlands.So I do know a little something about box design.Infinity02Zinc said:When was the last time ANY of you built a PROPERLY tuned ported enclosure- not some pre-fab crap. Or, do you base your assumptions on what others say? "Tighter" indeed. The only thing from the last 2 posts I will agree with is that ported MAY be louder (it's no given). Again, it depends on the tuning.
iskwezm said:One question, what frequency did you tune to and how did you find that frequency????
