my friend wants to buy a 18 inch Bl, or Q. and we have only about 5 cubic feet, here are my options tell me what would be best.
18 Q sealed, you recommend 4-8 cubic feet
18 bl sealed, you don't recommend it, but is it possible
18 bl ported, you recommend 5-10 cubic feet, at most we could get 4.5 after port and driver displacement, could we do that and stuff it with fiber fill for the effect of a larger box
15 bl ported, probably 3.5 cubic feet
tell me what sounds best, he is relatively set on getting an 18"
About the only thing you can really do is the Q sealed. And I would definitely add 4-5 lbs of polyfill to it as well. With that space and an 18" anything is going to be a shoehorned setup... and not optimal. You could get away with a BTL in that space a little easier... But Im not sure what you have in the way of power.
A single BL15 would work fine in the space you have too...
I try to get on Ecoustics at least once a day... usually later at night as a break from emails.
Are you referring to the guy that has the TC9 with MT parts? Well rob....remember me i do it in EVEN numbers... so ill do 2.... and im doing it for the hell of it, if it doesnt work out all that good... atleast i can say i gave it a shot.... instead of just trashing the motor like most people would<-----AbusE!!!!
Thats true...but why do you wanna be like everyone else. I like the fact that I can say no one has a sub like mine. Call it a flaw I like to be original.
