QTS: 0.571

QES: 0.649

QMS: 4.715

VAS: 197.420 liters

Dang it man.. now I might have to use one of these for my home setup

That power handling is right around what I could give it.

Same here. They have it in D4 configuration. My 1000w sub amp runs at 8ohm. So I could either run 2 subs @ D2 configuration or a single D4 and turn amp way down.

Unfortunately I couldn't find enclosure specs on it.

i did see a video of a aussie dude who built a DIY home sub with it and it seemed to work pretty darn well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just goes to show, you can do absolutely anything in this business and as long as you offer something for nothing people keep buying from you.

jacob from sundown posted a long time ago that there was no reason to make an 18" with a motor smaller than the sa, and even the sa is pushing it just due to the fact that the little motor has soooo much more mms to move with such a large cone.

no to mention pre order with a company that hasnt had the best customer relations in the past

not that they cant change and make things better but this wouldnt be the first time a company did a large pre order and went under, taking all the peoples money.

CT pulled some shady stuff ? If so, I'm not fooling with them, that's for sure. Probably just do a Dayton instead. At least parts express is reputable.

Oh yeah. Thats why I won't buy from CT sounds or Skar audio.

I had two of the 15" Tropo's. They where ok but nothing special.

Haven't heard/seen anything bad about CT Sounds subs, but def their amps. Both companies could be google searched for more info. There's even a sticky in regards to CT on this site.
