Someone has an eclipse TI for sale. One of the few subs that by spec actually can and will work in a small enclosure. Most companies just bs and say the 18 will "do fine" due to cabin gain and most people not knowing the difference.

Treo ssx18 does very well in a 4.5 to 5 cubic foot box

seriously?

look for 18' with high BL and low Q, there are plenty that can work in 4 cubes if you're only after a 30Hz or more tune.

For example, the TC Pro 5150 can work in ~2.5 cubes and his 25Hz with a passive radiator - extremely low Q and extremely high BL makes that possible. You just need to start looking at TSP's a little bit to sort through the options.

thanks brahs.

I wouldn't do it bro, just run a 15" in an optimal enclosure instead of risking being disappointed with an 18" in a tiny one. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
