two solox 18s or 8 mj18s in my 97 astro

[slapmaster]

i'm getting an atro van tomorrow but it's going in the shop to get the transmition rebuilt. i allready got 2 brand new solox 18s gray cones. but i'm thinking about saling them to go with more cone area. i bought them to go in my trunk,but bought won't fit, so i'm getting a van. i'll only have about 800-1000 to spend on subs. 2 amps(most likely hk4000s). i don't care about how much space gets taken up. van will be a groundpounder not a comp van.

i'm thinking 8 mj18s sealed pacman box or sideways pacman.

personally i'd do the Solo X's, since you already have them

alot easier to work wiith than eight 18's

[profundus-sanus]

i would do the solo-x's too.. throw em in a nice 4th order bandpass.

[snb778]

let me rephrase the question....

2 Lambo's, or 8 Ferrari's... GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

4th order bandpass? i been running sealed all my life, no idea how this 4th order bandpass looks. got pix? i know that these x's will have to be ported, but as far as what type of design, i have no clue.

4th order bandpass = ported enclosure infront of a sealed enclosure. Sub in the middle. If that makes any sense...

would you wall the van off fo that type of box or would that fit window hight behind first row bench seat?

Kind of depends. If you want it to still play music, I'd say probably a wall. If you didn't want a wall, you could run a ported enclosure.

G-Monk's new build is a 4th order.

[profundus-sanus]

for 2 18's you could probably fit it below the window line, or wall it behind the second row.

i suggest a 4th order for the solo's because there really temperamental about being bottomed out.. Basically, if you do their toast.
so because of that they like having that sealed chamber. Plus 4th order bandpass's > standard ported.
