[QUOTE="Super98, post: 794628, member: 550932"] I have the ava 18 in a 4.5 cube sealed box w/ 1000w rms going to it(Lanzar Opti1400). VERY nice. I'm no expert, but over the years I've had all kind of subs. The 18 crushes them all. I can tell you the ava 18 has excellent construction, no obvious cheap parts. And heavy as a mofo. Here's what I did w/ my system. I have 4 CDT CL-62's in place of the factory speakers, 150w rms to each. I had a small box w/ 2 10's that I was using before, put that in between the front seats and put an aftermarket tray on it. Fits perfectly. I crossed that over to 50-150hz w/ 400w rms, which works great. I'm a fiend for good midbass, and this is better than any midbass solution I've come across, lol! It also handles upper bass, see below for the reason. I have the ava 18 doing everything under 50Hz. It's my opinion that the Ava 18 doesn't do upper bass very well, but handles sub-50hz freqs better than anything out there for the $. If you want an all in one sub(and if this will be your only sub), you'll probably be disappointed w/ the Ava 18. But again, for anything under 50hz, this is **** good. I've heard 2 Ava 15's can come close. I think that cost about the same as 1 18, but you would need more space. I'm sure someone else can comment on that. Keep in mind that this is a daily driver setup - I don't compete. Hope this helped someone. [/QUOTE]
