For 2 18s you will want around 12ft3 net(after all displacements)

If you can only use 10ft3 then run something like 2 15s.

600-800 for a sub? Your options are pretty much limitless.

i was thinking about anscedent audio mayhem i want the biggest one but the mounting depth is to much i only have 18 iches including wood. o the depth has to be around 10 inches. and i was lookind at dc audio incriminator audio or fi audio.

What do you actually have to work with? 2 18s are out of the question for sure.

OP when looking into 18's you are going to run into a lot of strictly SPL based subs, just know what to look for. And yes the box plays a huge role in how the sub will sound. I don't know what you consider highs in bass, but I let my subs play full volume up to around 70Hz then it starts to cut off. Anything above 60-80Hz you really should let your midbass/front stage take care of that

ya i know and thanks like my alpine type r dosent even make noise when it hits the highs. when i had my 2 12ves in those hit the highs when i turned the lpf up on the amp... and right now i cant here my door speakers at all so idc about that yet.

If your subs are in a prefab box that would explain a lot lol

i was thinking i couldent do an 18 and i know it was gonna be hard to do especially with a small cab so ill settle with 2 15. i was thinking about 2 anscedent audio mayhems. and two 2500 watt rockford fosgate amps which will over power it but thats wat i want lol
