I'm putting 2 tens in the trunk of my 3rd gen max. Should I use a sealed box, a bandpass box, or a vented box? I'm trying to get the best sound possible but I lean towards the spl side...

 

Vented hands down. Bandpass will only let you have one boomy area of the frequency range.

Plus, if tuned right... a vented box can sound just as good as a sealed.

 

def. Vented no doubt about it. Dont even think about getting a crappy bandpass

 

thank you very much. I will be getting a vented box for sure.

 

depends on what you sort of bass you like. sealed will give you the best sound quality, and tight punchy bass. ported/vented boxes are generally louder than a sealed, but you will lose a little sound quality. bandpass boxes are awesome if designed right, but most of those prefab bandpass box aren't...

 

I'm not a big fan of Prefab. But AE (Audio Enhancers) does build some good quality stuff.

 

interesting....I've always like sealed

 

yeah, can't beat the sq from a sealed box

 

Sealed boxes have the most "leeway" regarding construction and design. If you plan on building it yourself go with a sealed.

AscendantMax hit it right on the head.
