There is more than one kind of bandpass box. The box in the truck above looks like a single reflex bandpass enclosure

It definitely looks like it's on the line between bandpass and slot loaded. Bet it's good at preventing you from lighting a match in the vehicle!

lol, that would be a bad setup if you needed to do that, but who lights matches in cars nowadays. You could always do it in between bass lines.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Hey guys, don't really know if it should be considered a "Port", "Vent", or "A Variation Of A Bandpass". But hope you guys get the idea of how I'm trying to isolate the bass and keep it in the cabin of the vehicle and not in the trunk. It works for me.

Anyways, I didn't start this thread to be a "Port Design Thread", hope the mods don't lock it Frame, Stretch, Soak - Page 3 -- posted image.

I started this thread to share with you guys my frameing skills, and how very important it is to spend the time and go over the little details (routing, perfect circle, rabbeted edges), so you will have better results with the finished product. Hope it helped Frame, Stretch, Soak - Page 3 -- posted image.

And it is well noted and observed, keep up the good guy. New techniques are always welcome as well as a reminder of the basics and common principles.

I'm extremely new to fiberglass, as a matter of fact, I've never done it nor seen it in my life, but am about to FG the tire well in my 2004 Mustang GT on Sunday.  My buddy has done fiberglassing once, so I suppose I can't say we are completely ..... green. All is bought that I will need, and I hope I can pull off this build in 4 days. If it weren't for you guys putting out these threads, I beleive my projecy would be a complete disaster. I hope it works out, but either way, I want to thank everybody out there that has put up input here. I've learned so much from all you guys. Thanks.

Mike

I'll pass you like a shadow in a corner.

Yeah, how did this thread go from a fiberglass enclosure to blow throughs?
At anyrate, the "port" isn't long enought to be a port. So not a bandpass. Just "funneling" the sound into the cab of the original vehicle.

Who would have thought sound could directed so easily. I love sound. It is like water but without the wet stuff Frame, Stretch, Soak - Page 3 -- posted image. Frame, Stretch, Soak - Page 3 -- posted image.

the unfortunate thing is that by design, what you indeed have here is a bandpass enclosure (more specifically a tri-chamber bandbpass).  Drivers in much smaller sealed chambers all firing into a shared vented chamber.  You are not directing anything with that opening - you are providing the bandpass witha  vent.  If you'd like, give me the overall specs on that design and I'll reverse engineer it and SHOW YOU where your response is....

I can practically guarantee this box is a one-note wonder (as in big pressure at one spot and weak as heck everywhere else).  And no, not all SPL designs are one note wonders - they'll be loudest at one frequency, but will be brutally loud everywhere.  If you give me accurate dimensions, I bet i can tell ya exactly what frequency is loudest in that truck  ;)

Not trying to stir the pot for you here bud - but if ur gonna flex ur "routering skills" and show off box designs, you might want to be entirely sure of what you're saying it is  :) :) :)
