Bandpass Subwoofer: You Are Doing it Wrong. Bandpass MYTHS BUSTED!

In this video I bust three myths about bandpass enclosures, including the popular myth that the best bandpass subwoofer is a three to one (3:1), and explain why this is wrong. I also explain how the size of the sealed and ported chambers, plus the port tuning, impact the frequency response of a bandpass subwoofer enclosure.
