i got my fu-18 in a 7.5 cube box tuned to 45 hz, 150 sq inch of port.... it actually sounds nice but there are some notes where it makes the sub sound sloppy, like really low notes, rougly around 15-25hz it is just slopp... but then everything else and up sounds preaty good.. all i gotta say is that this sub can get **** loud... but i think if i waxs to build another box i would make it either 6.5-7 cubes still tuned to 45 hz, but with only like 100-120 sq in of port.... i think that i would prob get more output out of that....

The only cheap 18's I can think of now are the RF Punch HX2 and the Kicker Comp VR.

something happened with their supplier of 18" baskets and they don't have any in stock

o ok. Hmmm. Well I dont know of any other good and cheap 18 inch subs. Probably the CompVR would be nice sounding unit in a ported enclosure. I cant say how much better than the FU cuz ive never heard one of those //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

probably because your box is tuned at 45hz...

Yea it would only be "stable" at ~40 hz. Anything below that is crap. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

thats exactly whut i said... becuz of my box and the way i tuned it.... notes around 35-60hz its the loudest and cleanest!!
