Astro enclosure options?

[Random1010]

Maximum dims are 40.75" tall x 42" wide x 67" deep internal. Trying to peak <45hz on music. Also trying to utilize cone area over wattage. Ideas?

what u want to know what subs should u get and what size or what

what u want to know what subs should u get and what size or what

he said hes looking for ideas so throw some out obviously. i say go with 4 18s in a wall and do 4xl 18s so u will only need like 8k to get nasty loud (compared to other vans with like 30k)

18 15s sealed clamshell. Setup is win, trust me.

[Random1010]

I considered the sealed clamshell Gmonk, but the subs aren't particularly good in a sealed application. Figured that would be an issue..

[galacticmonkey]

What subs?

[Random1010]

Unreleased. Cascade Sigma.

[PIITB Wut Wut]

cascade sigma hrmmmmmmmm

[galacticmonkey]

Sounds Greek.

And I dont like Greeks. :fyi:

[basscort2009]

cascade sigma hrmmmmmmmm

ok guy i was makin a crack at teamsouthernbass. i told my opinion already. 4 18s. less subs and wont need thousands upon thousands of watts.

[Random1010]

I think 4 18"s would need more power due to the lack of cone area...

[basscort2009]

well being 42 wide then maybe you wanna go with 15s so you can have enough width for the port. 6 15s

[Random1010]

Current plan was 8 15"s in a 4th order. Just looking for any other great options before I do that.

[basscort2009]

that works. what kind of power you looking at?

[Random1010]

Planned on 36-40,000 watts. But if I can get some more cone area from it in order to use less power, that would be great.

[basscort2009]

well u have plenty power. thought u were slackin in power. still 4xl 18s sound good for that for burps but daily level 5 18s would handle that easy. that is in that 8 15 BP u mentioned.

[PIITB Wut Wut]

the reason that 4 18s sux is people dont do the math...

while 4 18" giant cones moving is awesome... to this day and age coils are unable to handle larger loads than 2-3500 watts rms... it is better to have several high power coils to disapatte that energy...

soo i say 20 12"s

5 stacked high
2 stacks on each side in a walk through

[Random1010]

Basscort you do realize I'm not running DC subs right? lol.

Monty I can't picture it. Bear in mind that I wanna keep the port on drivers side.

[galacticmonkey]

8 15s would be great.

[Random1010]

You think so? It would be similar to Steve Mick's design. 4 facing 4. Only way I can think of fitting it..

[galacticmonkey]

I would like to see a vertical clamshell with a loading wall on the front and a port behind the drivers side. Eric Alexander did that a couple years back with 24 Crunch 12s and he was in the 60s on music.

I'll google pics..
