Hey guys, built a quick bandpass Enclosure to see how these Peerless subs go. Modelled it up in BassBox and went with recommended enclosure to the letter.
When playing anything with rolling or constant bass it sounds perfect - very good response down to around 35hz and rolling off around 100. The issue is with anything with a bass 'hit' (ie. dat beat dropping). Even with the amplifier turned right down, there's an initial noise which sounds like the sub going way past excursion limits, but it goes away after a tiny period of time if that note continues. The best description is a 'pop'.
It doesn't sound like any sort of port noise I've heard before, more like distortion. With the top panel removed, the noise is gone.
Thoughts? The surrounds on these subs look a bit dry, so I'm going to get some of that treatment stuff.
