Dc level 3 18?

[Spldecendant 10+ year member]

I have my daily driver that I did a previous build in the idea was light weight but somewhat loud. I did 4 15inch kicker comps in a 10 cubic sealed enclosure (birch). im looking to lighten it up even more I see that the level 3 18's weight 29lbs a piece. I am considering putting 2 of them in 8 cubic ft sealed enclosure my question is there any lighter 18's neo? Or something along those lines or motors I can build better and lighter woofers than the level 3's?

what amp u have? couldn't u do like 1 FU 1250 18 ported with like 2k rms, I know u losing cone area but they are comps, I would think 2 fu 15 (or sa) be louder ported with good power

Loud and light is hard to do. I had 2 DC lvl 3 18s walled way back in the day. Wasn't happy with them. But I wasn't trying to stay light either.

The amp is an audiopipe 3000d good electrical comps where actally decent 44-45 on burp I don't play music full volume though they would break. My other truck has a ported enclosure this build in here I like the sealed box for the slight sq advantage

maybe 2 sundown 15 E'S sealed be good (22 pounds each or so) seen reviews sealed sounds good they say., they can take 800-1k with gain down..

go 9 cubes aero ported bud. Your 4 15s will be a good bit louder than them if you keep sealed.
