Well this is my second attept at the elusive 4th order bandpass.
This is built for the other organization (doors open). I just recently found out that my build 4th order build last year was more built for Bass Race but I competed in Street Beat (door open) and lost some 8-10 db by opening the doors.
I never tested it Drag Style!
Anywho, I'm building for Street Beat again but the port will be centered as I am told that this will fair much better with the door opened.
First, each one of the 4 18" subs will have its own enclosure. Each enclosure is approx. 1.6^3.
I don't have pictures of the inside of the boxes but there is a lot of work on the inside. Probably more than I have ever done to the inside of a box.

 -

Next is the framing which took some time.

 -
Yesterday, I was able to get the layers done.
 -
 -
 -
When finished the ported side will be approx. 54^3.
I will hopefully be ready for testing by the middle of the week.

don't worry about cosmetics too much @ the beginning . being pretty doesn't get first place . i would waste so much time on cosmetics only to change it all when i had to test more . good luck and don't for get to ask for advise a lot from everyone !

Today was much better. Found a little trick that works for me. I was able to match the number I did with 4 subs yesterday with only 1 sub today.
I feel much better today, lol.
Anyone who thinks they're gonna build a bandpass wall and get it right on the first try has got to be very, very lucky.
