I was wondering is bandpass is a good sub box my friends swear by them but I have never heard a sub in a case so I have no clue.

bandpass are only good if you get one made/make it yourself and know what you're doing.

and where are you getting a ported box? please don't say a prefab ported.

Bandpass is a hard design to nail on the head. There's very little room for error. If you're slightly off it can/will sound like pooop.


And prefabs are for those with either no money/skills/friends/tools or still wear spidey underwear and pjs.........

Bandpass sucks big time unless the sub + box are specifically designed for it

Not all prefabs are bad, but 95% of prefab bandpasses are. Bandpass boxes are too sub specific to really prefab.

Audio Enhancer makes some nice prefabs for the $.
DD512's sound quite good in their PB series boxes.
