I have a Jensen Bandpass box with 2 10's in it. Should i leave the plexiglass on the front or make it and open air box? I know NOTHING about steros.

First of all... don't expect the best quality sound reproduction with a band-pass box.... especially not a Jensen. I'm not saying it's junk, but they're priced cheaper for a reason. But, since it was designed to be a band-pass enclosure...DO NOT USE IT AS AN OPEN AIR box!!!!!!! The band-pass design basically makes the speaker more efficient... so it is a lesser speaker that is made to sound better with proper tuning to the volume of air in front and behind the speaker.... and porting. If you remove the plexi-glass you totally negate the purpose of that setup, and compromise the sound "quality". Don't do it... it will sound worse!

Please dont open that box. First you could probably mess up your speakers. 2nd the speakers would sound like wet farts audiobahnn style.
