My box is tuned to 30hz. I've been tryin to find a LP Filter at 30hz and cant find one. All I can find is the Harrison Labs 50hz LP FMOD. They have 20hz subsonic filter a 30hz HP filter but no LP. Does anyone know where i can find a 30hz LP filter or close to that? Thanks

I think you may be a little comfused as to what you need. What you need is the 30hz HP filter, not a LP. heres a link

you do want a lowpass filter, but certainly not 30 hz.. Not counting the rolloff on the x-over, there would only be 20-30hz that you would be able to hear. The tuning freq of the box/port does not determine the x-over freq. What size sub is it?

OK, if you have a sub that is ported to 30 Hz, will need a HP filter to keep the sub from playing much material below the port tuning frequency, especially if you have a potent amp.

Most amps have LP filters for subs to block out highs to the subs. We generally recommend setting the LP filter around 80-100 Hz... depending on the full range speakers used.

To block the lows under 30Hz., you'll need a high pass filter that blocks below 30 and passes everything above that. This is basically called a band pass filter network. (30-80 Hz) is you band of frequencies to the sub.

The item mentioned by Buickman is correct... that is the filter set you'll need and just set the LP filter on your amp between 80-100 Hz... Viola... a bandpass filter is born.
