What lets a 6th-order bandpass subwoofer play so darn LOUD? I'm looking for SPLs and fairly tight punch. My current ported (EBS) box has slow bass, so I want something that will give me tight, firm, loud bass. I ocasionally take my stereo to parties, so SPL is important to me.
I want to build the loudest subwoofer I can with my two 8" pioneer woofers, and I've heard the 6th-order Acoustimass subwoofers and thought that they had some pretty okay sound for their tiny size.
What are the caveats that I need to be aware of, besides the uneven frequency response characteristic of bandpass subwoofers that might affect this 6th-order bandpass project?

==========
Gain and bandwidth are inversely proportional. If high gain is important, bandwidth must be sacrificed (and vice versa).

Sealed and/or emphasis on frequencies around 50Hz would meet this requirement.

There is no such thing as slow bass. Although a system with a fairly high group delay will manifest such a poor bass performance. Likewise when inadequate drivers are used.

With those drivers, a 6th-order BP box is your best bet

some of those Acoustimass modules are of the 8th-Order type.

you'll almost surely have to build a big and heavy box
==========
Good luck!
