Bad Bandpass boxes have a tendency to sound boomy not tight, typically these enclosures don't sound as good reproducing Music requiring great detail such as Jazz or Classical music. Overall These enclosures are usually big, and very unforgiving when precise volumes and port sizes are not followed. Bandpass boxes also tend to mask distortion. If you can't hear distortion and turn your stereo down in time, you could damage your subs.

(they lasted about 6 months) i just started popping in one sub after another... they all sounded like crap in that box me personally i am WAY WAY happier with a sealed box....
