Astro enclosure options?

Current plan was 8 15"s in a 4th order. Just looking for any other great options before I do that.

that works. what kind of power you looking at?

Planned on 36-40,000 watts. But if I can get some more cone area from it in order to use less power, that would be great.

well u have plenty power. thought u were slackin in power. still 4xl 18s sound good for that for burps but daily level 5 18s would handle that easy. that is in that 8 15 BP u mentioned.

the reason that 4 18s sux is people dont do the math...

while 4 18" giant cones moving is awesome... to this day and age coils are unable to handle larger loads than 2-3500 watts rms... it is better to have several high power coils to disapatte that energy...

soo i say 20 12"s

5 stacked high

2 stacks on each side in a walk through

Basscort you do realize I'm not running DC subs right? lol.

Monty I can't picture it. Bear in mind that I wanna keep the port on drivers side.

8 15s would be great.

You think so? It would be similar to Steve Mick's design. 4 facing 4. Only way I can think of fitting it..

I would like to see a vertical clamshell with a loading wall on the front and a port behind the drivers side. Eric Alexander did that a couple years back with 24 Crunch 12s and he was in the 60s on music.
