Bronze Member Username: SgerardPost Number: 19 Registered: Apr-06 | I have a audiobahn a8000t amp - 800rms Im looking to get a box for 2 12" subs. Either kickers or audiobahns. I was looking at this pack. http://www.cardomain.com/item/ABNABP12T What does anyone think about getting it. If not, im not sure if i should get a bandpass box or a ported box. A wise man once told me that bandpass boxes are a no no unless you know what you are doing. Can Anyone help!!!!?? |

Post Number: 388 Registered: Feb-06 | i'd get kicker over audiobahn any day. neither are the best unless you just want spl though. i definately wouldn't buy that package neither. i personally hate bandpass boxes. to me they are cheap boxes thrown in with crappy subs and sold as packages to uninformed buyers, no offense. |

Bronze Member Username: SgerardPost Number: 21 Registered: Apr-06 | Im not sure if i should get a bandpass or ported. Bandpass sold on ebay or other sites look about 300% better. They normally have some fiberglass and some neons - some extra stuff to impress people at your high school. But ported or vented are always just wood and carpeted with charcaol color. I still dont know what box to get!!!? Any good looking ported i could get???? |
