Looking for opinions on an 18'' around $400 in 6 cubes with 1500 RMS

[GLN305 10+ year member]

Just looking for some real world experience people have with current subwoofers available for a $400 price point. I have just under 7 cubes NET with the dimensions minus wood thickness not including bracing or port displacement, so probably closer to 6. I will be giving it 1500 RMS at 1 ohm. Box is not built, so game is on for anything. Please let me know what sub you are using, the enclosure size and tuning and results. I'm getting back into SPL after a few years and haven't kept up to date with current SPL subs.

I was interested in DC at one point, but couldn't find any place to get one new locally. Any ideas for the Austin area?

as tempting as that is, I will barely find time for the next couple months to go get wood and build a box, so making that trip won't happen for me. Thanks for the offer, that sure is a nice sub.
