actually it is.. took me a second to see it but theres a chamber behind the far right internal port. so the waves travel off the cone. right angle down the channel to find the raised port. then travel into another chamber where they meet up with the backside waves and then funnel out though the main port. Interesting. I'd love to hear how this sounds.
Looking at that site I guess the wicked one is more of a folded horn then a bandpass. http://www.decware.com/newsite/mainmenu.htm Still hits like no other though makes 2 10s seem like 2 18s

Good job! Bandpass boxes are fun to build and tune. I've always wanted to build an 8th order for a 10 or a 12 for my home audio sub. They just take up sooo much space. I'd have to use a closet as the enclosure and have the ports sticking out of the walls.
Ahhh the Jasper circle jig. A MUST HAVE for any speaker box builder.

haha whenever i say bandpass box at the local electronics shops they look at me like i have 3 heads....if anyone can find a design for a rock fosgate 8" sub send it to me...i have been looking but no dice...if you need speaker specs let me know...i use to have a design way back when but i lost it......thanks tim...
So the box sounds good huh!? Good Job! Now watcha gonna do with it??? That's @ 30 watts going to it, right? 8 ohm woofer?
I Don't know of a program that will calculate 8th order. I use Bass Box Pro too. I have to do some digging because I have the formula to design them somewhere.
I do have Vance Dickinson "Loudspeaker Cookbook" also. but a program would be easier ;P
and yes, 8ohm woofer. didn't calculate it.
I did figure 100 watts would be 28.8 vac, but I didn't dare do that for the 1st time. It it supposed to take 150, and another guy built it and put 200 to it, but I wouldn't look forward to replacing the speaker so soon.
It will probably go in my wifes car and I do have 1 more speaker so I think I'll make another. I'll just parallel them with her rears
