It's everywhere. People are stupid.

Read that aloud to yourself, a couple times, then ponder it.

As does the rest of the world.

A bandpass is nothing more than a mechanical filter. You can replicate the same results with a crossover network and a simple enclosure.

Welcome to the forum. You won't find anyone here that will recommend a bandpass. Sorry.

My Maggies shipped out yesterday. Should be here tomorrow!

Oh, you are not alone. That has been a fad up here for a couple years. Idiots.

Sean's also got the weight more evenly distributed in comparison to a pickup as well as a nifty computer controlled AWD system.

It's more than tires. You have antiquated suspension technology that's not conducive to anything other than moving weight in a straight line. Emphasis on weight. There isn't exactly a performance tire market for trucks either. You're stuck with a tire designed to handle a lot of weight, last long, and ride relatively comfortably and noise free. None of that screams traction above all else.

I hate to say it, but I think a small driver and enclosure is best for you at this time.

Do you have the ability or desire to cut and weld on the deck?

I know a chick whose boyfriend makes her do that. I call him Peg every time I see him. He then proceeds to tell me his name is Steve. Been doing this for over a year and it still hasn't occurred to the man.

. . . must. . . . hold. . . . . back. . . .

SO the steel you're thinking about cutting is the actual seat back? If it were me, I would build a wall straight down from the back of the deck. That gives you your front/rear separation and allows it to vent through the rear deck when the seat is up. I would be simple enough to fab up a baffle and seal it with some hot glue and clay to get an idea. If you like it, then work to make it permanent.

Post some pics so we can see what you're working with and what are your plans so far driver wise?

I've done several different IB setups. That metal is part of the structure of your car, as is the rear deck. I would not touch any of that unless you are certain you can add that structure back in. That being said, that panel is actually a blessing. IT's more than likely giving you an ideal seal between the trunk and the cabin. If you have a rear deck, you can use this to your advantage by building a manifold, or baffle and letting the air from one side of the drivers filter through here, while the other side of the wave just meanders it's way 180 out.

What?

I just ordered some wall-mount Maggies. MMGW is the model. They're dirt cheap at $360 shipped per pair. If you've never heard any, I would suggest them. You'll need a sub though and to close up that open part by the stairs. They're Maggies though, so completely worth it.

I was joking that he has a vag.

Did you disappear into her vagina?

Sounds like he's spending too much time in a very nappy dugout.

Dude! How can you process gluten?

Give them a call man. 256-417-6658

I just missed out on Wyoming, but I have a roundabout to Billings, Reno, and Sacramento coming up soon.
