what custom subs for this enclosure?

[orangecounty1 10+ year member]

help me choose guys, i have a 4th order wall, 8 cubes on the sealed part, and 18 cubes ported tuned at 43 hz, with 357 sq in of port.

4 15s

clearly i want to be loud, but i also want to get pretty low as well, as most of the music i listen to is slowed/chopped and screwed.

power wise, id like subs that can take 2500-3k each daily on music.....might not have that power at the beginning, but eventually id like to have that much power, so i want subs that will handle it.

kinda want to build custom subs too (rather than buying fi, aa, ia, dc, tc, etc) what options could i look into?

well with tuning that high you wont be able to play low unless you re-tune your box..... honestly tho i would look into SSA Xcons. they are sick subs that get stupid loud as well as low.

You'll want a box that's tuned to low than 35Hz to get the super low bass.

SPLaudio, just find four motors and have him build them, won't be disappointed.

He is using a 4th order bandpass enclosure, his tuning is just fine.

Ahh didn't catch the 4th order part, can you explain why that is? I'm not too familiar with that type of design.

Wtf? Don't yall know 4th orders are supposed to be tuned higher? Iirc, 43 hz is actually low for a 4th order.

Get some tc3hp motors and have them reconed by psi or splaudio. Sick motors and better soft parts than an axis for your application me thinks.

for the power ur looking at in the future for music gonna have to have 8 layer coils. 3hp motors would be great...

Ya 3hp motors are just the bees knees lol, favorite 3" coil motor I've used. 8 layer coil with a lighter cone than the axis would be perfect
