[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8848878, member: 689267"] A/b is most often used to refer to the class of amplification as in Class A, A/B, D etc. I use A/b for SQ components and D for subs. Frankly, I would bail the DS18's in the doors for a better set of Morel or Focal drivers, even Pioneers new Z series will put these DS18’s to rest for sound quality and bandwidth. These particular DS18’s are not my idea of SQ wide-band midbass drivers, more like high output pro style mids. I’d use them when building an SPL system to keep up with massive amounts of BASS. Same for with use of bullet tweeters. in this instance it appears they are using AB to refer to the American Bass sub. Did you build the box to the MFG specs? I can run the specs through BASS Boix Pro and give you best box size for ported or selaed, given your limited space, that would help. Box size and type are critical to the output; you can't assume any of this, there is an artful science to it. [/QUOTE]
