Bandpass prefab boxes are generally made to occupy less space . they tend to play @ a higher freq giving off what some may call a 'high/bangy bass' .
those prefab are also usually made of 1/2" sides & 2 5/8 or 3/4 (if u are lucky) end pieces . Buy a $40 sheet of MDF ,tube of Liquid nails adhesive , some drywall 2" screws, do a 1/2 day's of easy carpentry & save alot of $
your probably right. i mean you are right. if you got to the bragging section of this forum, you can see the box but now it has a pair of type Rs in there instead of those dumb audiobahns. i'll post the pictures tomorrow when there is some light to take the pictures. i'm glad you told me about type Rs because i like them alot.
