Old school Cervin Vega Stroker 18 inch in a sealed encosure

[JBooM]

I want to put an old school Stroker 18 in a 3.5 cubic feet sealed enclosure box. The Manual says it needs almost 5 cubic feet for a ported box. Do you think the stroker will sound good in this size box. Also What if I put one or possibly two 18 inch passive radiators on the back of this box? Would I be able to tune it to a descent frequency?

Here is the link to the manual. I have the 18D model.

From memory, those subs didnt do well sealed at all and didnt like smaller boxes.

I wouldn't try using that 18 sealed. You would be choking back an awesome driver by doing so. The passive radiator deal may work though. The specs for these drivers lean heavily towards ported box use and I would think 5 cubes for the 18 would be too small as the 15's usually worked well in that size box. If thats all the space you have I would get a different driver.

I am going to try the passive radiator design. Does anybody know if it would be better to use two passive radiators or one. I am only going to be using one sub and these radiators.
