an eq would certainly help with the boominess, but i always thought that bandpass boxes were built to produce that boomy sound. i remember reading that they boost the freq that they are tuned to, to help great additional bass for speakers that could otherwise not produce that loud of a sound. i have 4 JL12w0 in a simple sealed box, i don't recall hearing a jl in a bandpass box before. stop by a car stereo place and ask to demo a another box to see if your looking at a function of the box or the car. as cars have a natural boost to certain frequencies. there was a dude who wrote for carstereoreview that had a vette he used for testing and i remember it had a nasty boost to a certain tone.
