Bandpass midbass?

winslow · 26th April 2009, 12:08 AM

I don't think that I've ever seen such a thing, but would it be possible to run midbasses- say 100-500 hertz in a bandpass enclosure?

Bumping an old thread, unanswered thread. I am also interested in trying midbasses in bandpass enclosures. I would be looking to go from 60-250hz. Is this possible?

It's possible.

But I can't say how good the results will be.

the problem you may find is dealing with standing waves in the front enclosure. The vent will be transparent to these. When we were doing the KEF bandpasses we had to take a lot of time to control these, even when crossing over at 150Hz.
Also, you may have some trouble finding driver parameters that are optimum for the alignement you come up with.
