Are there any 18" subs around $200 that can take ~1kW?

[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8457250, member: 658055"] I'm so tempted. I'm going to sleep on it and if they're still available later I'll probably get one. I've been playing around in Torres. I didn't realize just how much volume I'd lose with port displacement. Here's a rough figure to see if an 18 is still feasible: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ucakrxo.png[/IMG] I think this gives me enough port area with a good enough ratio to prevent noise. I don't really know what I'd tune it to. Sundown recommends 35Hz on their site, that's probably fine. I could go lower by lengthening the port, but going down to 32Hz like that drops me down to 5 cubes (before subtracting a bit for the sub). It sounded like the FU sub would prefer a larger box than the SA. Now that I've crunched the numbers it seems like the FU might be out. In a pinch I could run partially external aeros like foghorns, but that might look kinda ghetto.
