I did this however the plans need updating. I later added three braces as the side next to the ports were flexing as well as a load of wadding in the back. It was also made with 1/2" plywood which didn't really help but the bracing definitely did. I was after something which would pass the 'circumference test' i.e. would it play breakage - circumference all the way down and these definitely do with authority. They do however also need a lot of power so you will have to factor that in. I run mine off a single channel of an mc2 - e45.

I made a design around the BMS 18n862. My design goal was to have a compact box that goes low. So obviously effeciency is sacrificed (meaning that you need a big amp to drive it).
The design needs a 6 dB boost at 28,5hz Q2 to play as intended. The Idea behind this was to have a compact speaker for smallish gigs, till 200 people. And to make double 18 inch 500l cabinets for the same speaker if i need to use the full potential of the drivers. It's not yet build and tested as funds don't allow it :-) http://forum.speakerplans.com/the-singing-canary-sub_topic96721.html |

would having subs tuned to this specification limit its ability to produce higher-freq bass as well? current plan is a 3 way system (ie: tweeters, low/upper mid range, bass) so i dont plan on having kick-bins (unless i upgrade in the future)

You say you play dub and reggae, are you therefore intending on putting vocals through those 18's? Just curious as to how well the reflex will cover sub, mid bass n vocals with an 18.

Yes this was my next question. The plan as per above would be a 3 way. Bins, low/upper mids, and tops. I will be playing some music w vocals (not sure if that answers your question) but still haven't looked into how I will be 'operating' the system for a lack of better words. |

Is there a rule of thumb that helps you decide when you should just build bass cabinets vs when its necessary to build both sub cabinets and kickbins on top?
Aside from your personal needs ie how much hifi u need...? I'm guessing if you are like me and require bass extension down to 25hz you'll have no choice? Or can anyone suggest a design that has a large bandpass? Thanks! Edited by jngggggggg - 12 May 2017 at 12:32am |

[/QUOTE] Hi Paul couldn't agree with you any more. I have a similar setup with 18" dual BR ( which is brilliant compared to tape horns etc) and single 15" mid high cab, that loaded with Faital 15FX560 and that combo seems to work the best. ive tried 12 inch cabs as mid high but could never get it to sound like what I have now. And the cherry on the top is that I can use the 15"mid cabs on its own when I don't need subs but also have decent output. Rish
