What ya'll think?
I'm buyin 1 JL 10W0 and a retractable port from a friend of mine for $50.
Also, he is helping me build a bandpass box for it. Do you guys think it's
a good deal? If so, would a bandpass box be good for this speaker or should I
just build another type?

The only bandpass worth building is the DeathBox, because it's virtually impossible to mess up. The only downside is you need a good sized trunk to fit it in, and a pretty big passenger compartment to get decent SPL. I had a dbk12 loaded with a pair of JL 12w3-D2s in my old coupe, and it was insane-- 137dB at 8 ohms... The box was enormous, though.
The Dbk for 10s is more moderate, but the box sounds decidedly better in the house than in the car-- I have a pair of them with Klipsch KV1089s in my living room-- they'll push 120dB+ on 50w each...
If this is one of your first experiences box-building, I always recommend sealed. The only foolproof box you can build. Ported is almost as easy to foul up as bandpass-- only when you botch the latter, it just sounds crappy-- and when you botch the former, you kill the speakers.

I was just wondering! Maybe there is someone who has it so no one
else has to cough up $10 out of their pocket. Get it? Good!

The good things are quite often not free.
