Hi Speakerplans.

Wich 18 inch woofer is, in your oppinion, the...BEST SOUNDING...(by your own definition of what "BEST SOUNDING" is)...in a ported 150 litre enclousure tuned to 40 Hz.

Top 3 or top 5 is most welcome.

Thanx for your inputSmile


Regards. Steffan.

No it's not. OHM 18" would work well on that one and sound good. And before anyone asks, no, not available other than buying a product with that driver in it.

I would look at the 18Sound 18LW2400.  I use the 18LW1400 in cabs not much bigger and it works very nicely indeed.  The 2400 is designed as a drop-in replacement but with some improvements.

will let you all know soon how good the 18s450 does sound in Q18s ;)
a very promising design by Mr. Wilkes RIP

As soon as the projects are sorted according to circumstances i will try to contribute as many details about these cabs as i can and allowed to..

btw. its roughly 100l and tuned a tad lower + Eq

Ok. Thanx.
 
Nice to hear.
 
Any restrictions portlength wise?
 
Tho goal is to obtain punchy, fast, accurate ,Deep bass.
 
As long as i keep the "windspeed" in the ports under, say, 16 m/s at full power (2100 watts) it should be ok right.
 
I have simed a 150 liter cabinet in bass box 6 pro, with two triangle ports in the bottom corners of the box. The port dimentions is 250mm x 250mm and 400mm deep.
 
That gives a tuning on 42,5 Hz and a -3dB point at 42,3 Hz.
 
The question that im puzzled with, is if there is a rule of thump regarding the relation between portlength and the sound wich i whant to get, as i mentioned above.
 
Thanx in advance.Smile

Triangle is the worst shape for a vent. Sharp corners make noise even at moderate air speed.
Better to go with a simple rectangular port under the driver.

oooh and don't dream too much, "punchy, fast, accurate ,Deep bass" is very difficult to get with a single box. It's always a compromise between punch and deep....
