18'' subs that don't need a huge box

[KilluminatiDre 10+ year member]

Ok I'm looking for a pair of 18's that don't need a huge box, ported that is. My max would be 9 cubes net, looking for the 2000-2000 rms handling range. So far the only thing that I can think of are SA-18s, any other suggestions?

Better to get a crazy 18 that handles 4k in a proper box then to cram sh*t in. Sorry but space makes bass. You need room for displacement too. Let us know whats your max dimensions height x width x depth.

^^^^ this ..you need to be looking at a single monster 18 or a pair of 15s

My old tc5200 18 worked well in 4.5 cubes.

smd 18 is the sub for you. it is suited for small ported enclosures

Why not just buy a pair of 15's that'll work optimally in the space you have?

I have 15's now. The 15's get loud and most people say it's too much but I've grown used to them and want to try 18's. The 15's are in 9 cubed net, I may be able to squeeze 10 net.
