I havn't gotton around to making a selaed box for my MM124, but i still have an old custom made dual bandpass box that was made for me back in 1992 for an orion xtr12, will the MM124 be ok in this box until i get the other one made? I would hate to damage the momo.

    I doubt it would damage the Momo but I wouldnt mess with the bandpass. They are a real pain to get dialed in right and will just plain sound like **** until they are right. If it worked for the Orion then it might not work for the Momo.

    I would recommend a sealed box over any other type of enclosure anyway. You get tighter bass from a sealed and the sub can handle more power in a sealed.

    Also you wont get many humps in your frequency response with a sealed.

    Bottom line? Forget about the bandpass and go with the sealed. It may not be as loud but it will be a lot cleaner, tighter, faster and better than the bandpass.

    Yeah, i know a sealed is better for the M124, i just havn't had the time to make the box for it yet.

    I went ahead and hooked it up today for **** N' giggles, it was great for the orion, but for what i want, it's not gonna cut it.

    Tomorrow i'm gonna make just a simple sealed box for the M124 until i can get more time to make a proper steath box for it, plus i'm having a hard time finding carpent to match my truck.
