Hi thanks for the response guys,but unfortunately the voids aren't available down here in SA.if i were to import anything from the UK,it would be rediculously expensive at the current exchange rate.So the voids and PD stuff is out of the question in terms of budget.Just curious to know would this GST181500 rip its cone in the x1?if not how much power would be safe?Would i be better of sticking it in a cyclops and feeding it 2kw?Sorry for the bazillion questions i just want a nice compact yet loud sub so go under some double 15's,was thinking jbl prx425 or real sound ms152.Appreciate you opinions

Build 184 subs they aren't much bigger than X1's and can be loaded with eminence drivers

Another unpopular brand here buddy,never seen it on any of the local dealer sites,so im guessing i'd have to import that as wel.Here are some readily available brands:fane, beyma, celestion, p audio, rcf(expensive), peavey.Anything us/uk made is the most expensive,anything made in china and asia in general is the cheapest down here.On the 184 im not sold,it doesn't look "intimidating" and the competition might build it as wel since cheap drivers will work in it,so no bragging rights on that really .I like the x1,it just has that about it.Is the motor strength of the GST181500 too low?i simmed it and got about 128db @ 1500w,not sure my input values are 100% though.did you sim it?results and verdict?

I just went with what the majority of folk were using I didn't sim it mate but the voids have huge 5"voice coils in them and take 1000w rms but do bare in mind the box was only designed to run at 800watts rms

P Audio have revised their product range a bit since this thread started and unhelpfully, often re-used the same model no for quite different drivers, so that's not to be relied upon.

Hi audiofreak,just checked the price and with shipping,customs and vat,can you believe its about the same as the cost of a jbl prx418s.@ twiggy problem is the older drivers are not available,just the new weak stuff.

I contacted P-Audio to see what they reccomend and they said they don't make a suitable driver any more for this box blue aran reccomended the oberton 18 1500xb but that driver would require more power than my amps can give so everyone else I know uses the void V-18 1000 though apparently RCF make a driver that works well

i put an oberton 1500xb in my x1 and di not get a flat response by any measure, wierd peaks around 60/70 and not the best low end response. put a void v-18 in it and the difference was phenomenal. side not is that i was only giving the obertons a theoretical 1400w a side...but that was from a bridged and clipped c audio xr3801

6TH order bandpass cabs are very picky for drivers. Slightly different TSP can mean that the front and back chambers are completely off causing peaks and dips in the response. |
