1 18" = 2.5 times 1 12" in CONE area, not driver size...

With two drivers, you have double the motor force. Even if you compensate by giving the single driver double the power, it'll still be handicapped because of much more power compression

Port it.

If SQ is the idea, with the 'WOW' factor of 18 inches....then stick the thing in a **** sealed box and thow 1k to it like Ive been saying. Why port it if the idea is sq? You want a flat-response to 20hz......so why port it especially when space is an issue and your trying to stuff a big ol' 18 back there.

Run it in 4 cube sealed and see what you think. If its not enough try an enclosure with aero ports tuned low if you can fit it.

ok let's forget all those number... i want a SQ 18. Is it clearer that way?

I'm not bumping my subs at all, but I love headroom. I'm not gonna sacrifice sq for loudness to a certain extend

i think youd be really happy with a mag v4. alot of great reviews on it and i heard it has the XBL^2 technology. 240 shipped. great customer service to boot and have never heard ONE bad thing about the company or its owners.

not a nuthugger, but seems to fit his bill nicely.

You dont have enough room to do an 18 right. Seal it, or go with a 15.

i'm not clear at all sry for all the confusion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

What makes a sub sound better than another one? flatness on freq? anything else? clarity between bass line?

I want a loud lowend 20-40 hz. The rest as flat as possible. I might be going sealed but porting it low would be nice too (hard to choose)

I want the bass to be Wowing like Wow that sound so nice

Like at the beginning of hypnotize from jeezy the first line before "class is session" sound like pure crap on the type R. From youtube cheap quality video it seems like most 18 do that part with strengh. Once it get the the high notes the type Rs rocks but their aren't consistent (oes that word exist in english?)

If you're coming strictly from type R's, you could probably get a funky pup and it'd sound good to you.

Seriously though, you dont need a super SQ sub, an HDC3 will sound a hell of a lot better than a type R...and they're built just to get loud.

And //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif nothing in hypnotize goes below like 38hz ish, that's not low bass at all. I don't think you're truly looking for soemthing that hits hard at 20hz...is white girl lows the kinda lows you're looking for?

Hypnotyze start real low till 26 sec. Then it start hitting 50-70hz. I know that

White girl sound nice on some part but weak on the lowest 28hz ish part. Trust me white girl move a lot of air but then it goes real quiet.

Same thing with Put on. most of the line sound well, but the lowest one **** hard on the Rs

I know myselft and I just can't buy a sub that sound better than a R but that is not the best sounding one. I'll be looking for another one in two month //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

I've had few subs but nothing spectacular sq wise
