Well....I have not actually got "the power" yet..I was looking at a DD z1 or 2 kicker ZX2500's.. I for sure will run no less then 4000 rms but I want as close to 5000 as I can get.. maybe even a bd40001 Fosgate...or something...open to suggestions..

That 5KRMS is competition power, dude. For daily driving music you might want to bring it down to about half of that. Unless, you're just building a fartbox and playing test tunes..

cool, another Indianaian and I see you're from Washington. I played basketball with Luke Zeller //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Anywho, I don't think a huge 10 cubic foot enclosure would be necessary, especially if you are going to give that sub a lot of power.

Well the manual sais 10, so I think I would choose that idea over yours.

Might have a lack of cone control in 10 cubes....

Yeah Luke is the man..I'm looking at your user name and sig...you dont have 4 15"s in a Ford Contour do you? Dont see how you could really ha..

haha, no, they're in my Jeep GC but not at the moment. I have to make some more sawdust before I throw them back in there. Found out yet what you are doing for power?

what exactly do you mean by cone control?

over excursion perhaps? Maybe I should've used better terminology? Or actually, now that I look back on it, I meant to say something about power compression.

ya makes more sense when ya put it that way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well the Solo X 18 is rated for 5k rms. Although you dont need that much power to get it loud it doesnt hurt to have lots of power if he wanted to go to comps and what not. I would say 3k daily would be ideal and more than enough to feed your bass needs

Nope have not decided yet..

Kickers box recomendation > Noob's 124 post count recomendation.

I know who I would listen to.

anywho, from the competitors that I've talked to who have used a solo X, they never recommended a 10 cubic foot enclosure for it. I was just stating what I have heard. If he's going to give the sub +4000 watts, the sub might reach power compression a lot quicker in 10 cubes so he could get more output in a smaller enclosure.

id do an american bass 400.1 or 500.1
