Firtst 18" Set-up

[Juicee 10+ year member]

I am currently looking get an 18" sub and I have been looking along the lines of getting a FI BTL or a RE XXX.

I have about 1800 watts of semi clean power (running an earthquake 200dhc thats been upgraded so the signal is a little clearer) and I would like to know what other choices may suit me.

I dont want any super SQ, Id even go a little more SPL than SQ but I dont want it to sound like complete garbage either.

I have been offered 2 18" Mmats Juggernauts as a trade for one of my amps and was wondering how those sound and would they get loud on 1800 watts?

I want it to be loud lol.... honestly my main goal is to feel the air movement from the trunk (I know it my sound stupid but Ive only been in a couple rides where you could feel it and one was in a trunk) No im not doing it just to try to do hair tricks or what not I just liked the feeling I guess heh.

I think i could best do it with an 18" with a high xmax is that correct?? im choosing an 18 because I have my 6x9s relocated so theres 2 holes in my rear deck and i can squeeze 1 18 facing upward right there and port the box to the rear... I have a rather large trunk by my trunk lid hinges prevent me from putting a 2 15" wide box back far enough to do that with.

SSA Xcon would work perfect with that. give it 7 cubes or so tuned at 32 hz and hold on.

Ok I think I found an Xcon trying to make a deal with the guy now Im thinking my earthquake dhc200 would push it well.

X-con is a nice woofer. Build a good box and it should deliver nicely.
