How does a SoloX 18 sound?

Thinking about doing 2 of these in a exploere in a wall. Something allong the lines of 22 cubic feet, 300 sq. in of port, tuned to 33 hz. How do you guys think it will sound. Oh yeah, about 6400W rms to the pair.

About as tight as dolphin pvssy. Seriously, what does it look like it'll sound like? They'll get loud, but then again anything will in 22 cubic feet with 300" of vent and 6500w. If you are doing a wall, you can get louder and keep a higher sustainable level using the same power on 4 15's that won't cost you as much.

I was wondering about the SQ. I mean obviosly they will be loud, but to sacrafice any shred of SQ wouldnt be worth it to me. The other option I was considering was 4 15" L7s. I know both would be loud. what do you guys think would sound better the 2 18's I had mentioned or the 4 L7s with 4.5 Cubes, 120 sq." port, tuned to 33 hz and 1250W rms each.

Well, what kind of music do you listen to. If you considering any L7 or Solo X set up, you really arent as "SQ" as you think. I personally hate the way L7/Solo-X's sound its so boomy. If all you listen to is rap and some rock, and like the way the L7 sounds, the solo X will do fine.

As for the 4 L7 idea, are you talking about 4.5 each or all together????

 

[DarkFox 10+ year member]

each, also with you saying how boomy they are, if you build to kicker specs then they end up being tunned to around 38Hz which, just by plotting the curve in programs such as WinISD then I would agree with you... The boxes they recommend are EXTREAMLY boomy. Not saying they are great SQ subs, but thats aslo why I am tunning them lowwer then there specs reccomend.. to smooth that peak out a little bit.

come to think of it.. havent they both won SQ competitons??? Meaning it really is all in how you build the box and tune them with these subs?

It can...But why would u spend do much money on 1 sub when you can save money and be just as loud
