All this band pass stuff sucks. Just my personal opinion.

I will download winisd and see what I can do.

A 10" gcon in a 2.5 cuft ported box tuned to 33hz with 400 watts @ 4 ohms.

Damn dogs don't even want to stay out with this cold weather also. And they have nice houses to live in.

Anybody need some extra snow? I am giving it away for free.

So was I we didn't have computers and video games. Fun for us six kids was being out in this stuff. Didn't even own a computer till 1992.

It's pretty till you have to move it !

Spam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to see a humming bird in one of your pics.

That doesn't say you went to ported it just says you changed the design. To what and that software would help a lot.

Do the T/S parameters say this would be a good sub for a 4th order build?

i believe I've kept my composure and am just trying to defend my way of thinking. I'm not bashing anyone, in fact my post to m5 includes a compliment to him. well i might've just bashed jay-cee, but he kinda called me a troll. anyway, that's the way i think and feel and just because some people don't agree with it, doesn't make it wrong. if I've never gotten bad sounds or low hit then i don't see why everyone thinks it was wrong. i would agree with all of you if i experienced distortion or that shabby waning sound that some subs do at higher hz, usually in a box they've gotten from the local dealer, which is to spec. I've never had anything but nice smooth deep sound throughout the range with hard hit. can't we all just, get along? I guess not if you won't listen to the other solution and think that yours is the only way. Grow up man.

Your posts say that you don't. VERY clearly.dude, i may not have a technical knowledge such as yourself. as you seem to know alot about this. what I'm wanting to know now is, how do you know what won't work if you've never tried it? is it just because your learnings say different, or because an app says that it won't work? i enjoy learning more when I'm trying different things. i don't understand how let's say a 12 can be any better than what I've gotten out of them. i could almost flip a quarter on the roof of my vw fox with 1 12 in a bandpass in the trunk, I'd say that's pretty good and i don't see how it could be any harder except with more power as that one only had around 400watts goin to it. it was a 600rms sub if i remember correctly. like I've said, the bottom line is that I've never had a sub box that didn't sound good or hit hard. and I'm not ignorant to the potential of subs, i know when a sub isn't reaching it's full potential. so how could they be better if they are hitting hard and sounding good? by making sure they utilize the exact air space? I'm sure they where though, or else they wouldn't have sounded good, right? granted, i do not know as much as you about the correct spec building method, but i know how to measure a box and say, well that's 4cubes it's too much and back it down. I'm not just blindly throwing pieces of wood in a pile, squirting glue all over it and callin it a box! i do add some screws too! seriously though, if i make the port longer then it calls for, what's gonna happen exactly with the sound or feel of the bass? am i going to diminish the quality or the feel of it? i assumed it would sustain the notes longer. again this is me experimenting and just because you say it's not good isn't going to stop me from trying. you can build boxes to spec all day long and assume that something different isn't going to be good. but until you try and see for yourself, it's always just an assumption. Why does everything have to be a 4th order build. Stop and listen to what people are telling you ! Some of us what to hear the music as it was played. Not just overpowering bass.

You think grown men could have a intelligent conversations but heftybone has chosen the wrong path.

I didn't know you but I heard your story. RIP Shawn

Cool no heavy batteries. Probable just for competition use mostly.

These are supercapacitor / ultracapacitors.Batcap is a brand of battery Do you have to use extra batteries along with them?

Are those what they call bat-caps?

We suggest setting the Low pass high because most people will not have the mids to fill between the 90-100 range. Also, if your box is tuned at around 35hz a 90lpf is perfect. It allows for you to reach from the mid 30hz - up. When it comes to how your system sounds it is all based on personal opinion but what we suggest is because we know what will sounds best to most people who are just installing a subwoofer into their vehicle and nothing else. From soundquebed:

Because you never go past 63hz doesn't make it right dude.

Aren't band pass enclosures hard to adjust the gain, because you can't hear the distortion?

I use a test tone of 60hz. The reason the sub sounds better with a higher lpf setting is you are letting it play tones that your front stage should be playing. This just makes the woofer play sounds that you would not normally hear from it which makes it sound better.

I agree with you but the factory manual says 100-125 when setting the lpf.

what do the numbers go from 20-200? If those are the right numbers just between 12 and 1 o' clock.

between 100 and 125
