Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5073 Registered: Nov-04 | Skip bandpass and go ported instead. Tune the port or ports to 28Hz - 35Hz. It's better to use 6" pvc, you will get less wind noise. They can be bought from your local plumbing stores. |

New member Username: SevenasterisksPost Number: 6 Registered: Oct-05 | Since it sounds like you want sq rather than spl, and have not built boxes before, why not just make it sealed. This would make construction simpler, not require as much tuning, and would (probably) provide better sound quality. |
