I currently have a JL Audio 12w3v2 in a HOBP box and wanting way more bass. I decided to use the 12w3v2 and buy another one and then buy a different box. I have been faced with the decision on two: regular bandpass box or the JL Audio HO box ( http://www.jlaudio.com/enclosures/ho212r.html ). Let me know all your opinions.

I hate bandpass boxes...

I have a 10W6 and ported it to spec and it sounds great! I vote ported, but that's jmo.

 

custom diy box!? :dunno:

 

Not doing it myself, the local audio shop. Their getting measurements and everything, just need to know which one i want to get!

:ghey::fawk:

 

sealed! Ported eqauls more boom for the buck, but the sound quality isn't there...

 

i chose the JL.. just what i think

 

for the 2 12w3s build a custom sealed enclosure, make sure to fiberglass the inside of the sepearte chambers.

but besides that theres alot more to getting bass out of the sub, what amp you using? voltage on deck? power size? fuses? etc.

 

That's a myth and simply isn't true if you build the box with SQ in mind and you choose the correct woofer.
