What kind of sub box is sealed in back and poted in front?

Question

To my understanding, there is the sealed box, the ported box, and the bandpass box. but what kind of box is one that is sealed in the back (where the magnet is) and is ported in the front. Rockford Fosgate made a 10 inside a tube like this.. no plexiglass. how are these boxes diferrent from the others?

Answer 1

What your probably talking about is called a Bandpass box.

Audiobahn makes them.

They are excellent for sound quality.

Answer 2

Craig o is correct it is a bandpass box it will be ported in front and also have a plexy glass window in front to show off your woofers

Answer 3

The product you speak of is one that I have sold and even custom built a few of, and it is indeed a BAND-PASS BOX.

It consist of a sealed chamber to provide acoustic suspension for the driver while the ported side (which is only plexi to look cool, it actually loses a lot to vibration, so wood it preferred) on the front side of the speaker is tuned to a specific curve and tuning frequency to maximize on the output of a quite flat sounding sealed box.  Bandpass boxes that are cheap and poorly designed sound very boingy and have poor reproduction range as a general perspective.  You get what you pay for.

Answer 4

basicly it is a c**p box,they are only for show &in 23 yrs i have never seen one that works as well as a good  custom made sealed box,i have never built one nor would i,if you want quality get a custom made box built to suit your sub &car

Answer 5

the only difference is that they are typically smaller than the other box styles so that they fit inside of truck cabs and in your cars trunk taking up as little space as possible

Answer 6

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying.  Can you find a picture of what you're talking about and link to it?
