Does this sub work well in a bandpass enclosure?

It does work well with a bandpass enclosure I would build it a 1 cu.ft. Per sub with a 3" dia. x 7" long pipe for the port, or equal area if using a rectangle porting system. I bought my first set which is still tumping back 06 for my truck and these new pairs just got installed in a 2014 mustang gt and they rock the beast.

I don't have personal experience with bandpass enclosures, however this speaker does have dimension requirements for one. Back side 1 cu ft, front side 1 cu ft. w/ 3"x 6.75" port. Or 1.2 cu ft x 1.2 cu ft. w/3"x5.25" port. Or .8 cu ft x .8 cu ft. w/3" x 8.75 port. I hope this is helpful.

Yeah that enclosure is only 800 watt RMS so it will probably be able to max those speakers, the amp might thermal shutdown after like 30 minutes of hardcore bass.

I have an SVS sub paired with mine. I use them primarily for home theater, but I listen to music as well. They sound really good together. I've never really used the speakers alone. I do not think it's too much bass. If so, you could always dial down your sub a bit.

This sub can only be wired for 2 or 8 ohms since there are two 4 ohm coils. If they are series it will be 8 ohms and if they are paralleled it will be 2 ohms. The directions for this sub recommends a 1.75ft^3 for a ported enclosure ( with a 3" port 4.76" long) or a .75ft^3 sealed enclosure. I would have to know your boxes port size to comment on the enclosure you have.

I dont know if it will help or not, but I have a fosgate 500.1 running mine. A single twelve enclosure. I'm guessing your amp question is referring to a 5 channel. In my opinion a 600 watt 5 channel would struggle to run this sub. It all depends on how the wattage is distributed. A four channel for your door speakers and a mono block for your sub. Can't go wrong

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers

I personally have mine a few inches below my LED T.V. And it does not effect the audio quality at all. I wouldn't reccomend putting it in an enclosure though.

If "free air" means no box, then no, it won't work very well as a sub-woofer. If you mean a ported enclosure, then yes it will work well. A ported enclosure will give it a "boomey" kind of sound, which is fine for some types of music like hip- hop or metal. A sealed enclosure will make the bass sound tighter which is better for other types of music. The sealed enclosure will also require more power to drive the sub. Mine gets 100 watts continuous and I have used both types of enclosures. I'm skeptical about that 600 watt rating.

I would think so I have mine in a sealed (which this sub will work in ported as well) box@.8 ft3and it sounds good.

Yes, great sub for the money. I haven't had any troubles with running my surround speakers through the outputs.

I have a full enclosed box and it sounds great. The design to my box was custom, since for this size of sub, it is a must. The thickness of the box is 1 inch. My sub I have installed in my Baja power boat, so for this reason, I had to have my box made with special marine grade compounds to prevent expansion and distortion to the box. But if you plan on having installed in a vehicle, you shouldn't have an issue with that. One suggestion, this sub does require a lot of power, so I would highly recommended at least 750watt HD amp from JL audio.

Any sub sounds better in a vented box. Even so, I made a closed box for the small space I have an it sounds great.

It should be plenty, especially with two subs!I have one sub with a little less power going to it and am very pleased with it.Have fun experimenting, I think that is the best part!

No, but not bad for a non-powered sub. Then again, if you are concerned enough about a powered sub you shouldn't buy an all in one system.

I would say yes, the box is fairly small. It provides good sound quality bass and if the sub is powered appropriately can get pretty loud. However a week after I purchesed this box I put my sub in a slightly larger box with a tuned port.... And fell in love with that. In a small cab you get clean sound and incredibly low lows.

This is a good sturdy box. There is porting so make sure the sub you buy has nice punch. I have it paired with a RF P1 and it slams

If you have experience installing 12v car audio, this should give you no trouble. It has power, ground, and turn-on wire for activating the internal amp. Comes with plenty of speaker wire as well. Just keep in mind this is not a high powered sub so don't expect tons of thump. For small spaces, it will deepen and warm up the low frenquencies. If you want more bass, try a powered Bazooka 10" or the Blaupunkt powered 10". Mine was installed in a travel tralier and it works fine in that application.
