Fi BL 18" box size

[Buck 5,000+ posts]

I'm going to get 2 18" BL's soon, and I'm in the process of designing a box. I have about 2400w+ going to the pair. I was thinking 14 cubes tuned to 32 hz. What do y'all think?

I think you should sell me one of them.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

But honestly, what options are you going to run on them?

The last BL I had really liked the bigger box I put it in, so if you have more room, I'd go for bigger.

They have the flatwind coils, cooling, daily and universal. I really don't want to do any bigger than 14 cubes.

Ok. I'm going for more lows in the system. In my finding a larger box helps out with the lows.

Ya, if they did it would be time for a wall //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I had my Bl 18's in a 11 cu/ft box and a 14.2 cu/ft net box. The 14.2 cu/ft box had a flatter response and yeilded the best score. Same vehicle with both boxes. Both tuned to 30hz.. You will be just fine with 14 cu/ft net for the pair.

yes. larger boxs on lower power sound better and lower. if u add power to that box though it will get stinky faster so take that into account. are you going to upgrade the amp anytime soon?

Hell no. No money. If I upgrade the amps, best believe there will be a new sub stage.
