i finally got around and installed my bro's sound system in his teg. it took me 1 hr and 45minutes for the complete setup. at the end i popped my scooter-ramp cd in his cd player and hell yeah his sytems sounds "mad tight". and i lowered his car also with the "big box" in the trunk :D

Glad you got everything set up ok... does it sag in the rear noticably?

[ebpda9]

like .5"

[black95gs-t]

cool. you did that quick for a non pro.

thanks, but i still have to arrange the suff in his car. right now the amp is floating around and i'm gonna screw it to the box. and the box is a bit wider than the trunk allows it in the rear so i have to make some wooden legs for it, and screw them to the body of the car, so the box becomes hard to steal

[Maxvla]

lol... i wouldnt really worry about that getting stolen...

yeah fast install... props to ya.

don't screw the amp to the box... i figure you'll have that thing blasting 24/7 which will rattle that amp quite a bit. might rattle internal parts loose. i'd never do that... but do it if you want.

[ebpda9]

well i'm a bit worried about the system, since i had my car broken into 3 weeks ago and the damn asshole who did that just ripped my interior apart, and left everything inside. anyway the box is way to heavy, it caused the car to lower itself half inch.

thanks for the props.

ohh btw he has the 600w kenwood amp, the pioneer deck, a crusher box with 2 12" cerwin vegas in there. i'm not sure but i think the box itself has a bandpass inside. his hatch ir rattling now so i'm looking into dynamat, when he will have the cash.

[Maxvla]

does the box have a port on it? cause if not its definately not a bandpass...

bandpass box looks as such: picture a sealed box. picture a sub mounted in the whole but backwords so the magnet is sticking out... now picture you enclose the rear of the speaker and put ports in the added section. kinda strange if you think about it... seems to sound pretty good... thats why they have good things about both sealed and ported boxes... cause its like a meld of both boxes in one.

umm.. a box cannot have a "bandpass" in it. bandpass is a type of box. just FYI.

[ebpda9]

well the box looks like you described it but the speakers are facing normally. and for the bandpass i thought it was one of those devices that cut the medium and high frequencies

Maxvla described what a bandpass box is... you are thinking of a crossover.

Bandpass does literally mean to let only a certain frequency band pass in an engineering sense though, which is what the box is effectively doing... only letting certain frequencies out.

[ebpda9]

ok i figured it out

[Maxvla]

yep yep...

the ports are tuned to specific frequency

you may be confusing it also with a highpass/lowpass filter.
which is a limited crossover eliminating either frequencies lower or higher than a given frequency.
