i searched a lot, but my english is very bad, and so its very impossible to find the best speaker for "WSX", because i dont understand specific words

i think the best are:

the RCF L18P300 ( i know martin takes those, only with 600w)

the PD1850

the V-18 1000

the V-18 1200


can there be problems ore something if i will tage other speakers as rcf into the wsx?
what is the lowest driver, with the most output? i want the wsx blow me away^^

first i need only 2, but there are comming more...

thank you!

I dont think you will be able to hear what they can do (blow you away) in a just one pair. As any good horn loaded sub it takes 4 to achieve its real potential.

As for the drivers RCF has a new 18P300 that is 1000W RMS. Other options will be:

18 Sound

18W1400
18W1000

RCF

18S800
18N401

And Void V-1000 is a very good one if you can find it in Austria.

I would say the only drivers with Enough Xmax, and BL/parameters compatible with WSX in order of preference are,


1. V18-1000
The best driver in this cab.  Has more Xmax, BL and better EBP/harder cone than anything else. High BL /smaller Vas/large Xmax mean no other driver will acheive the SPL @40hz that this driver can before max excursion. Will handle  approx 1kw

2. L18P300 - Will sound very warm upto approx 700 Watts, where Xmax runs out @ approx 40hz, but quality driver.

3. 18SoundLW1400 - Will handle little more power than RCF, but more expensive?

The other RCF's look good on paper but sound crap or can only handle 600-700W if low cut at 40hz, I know someone who has tried them.

Higher Xmax = Mehr besser!

2 Against a wall should be just ok.

Good to hear that mate.

What is the max power the drivers have survived,  and what  low cut freq do you use?

hey..

but isn't directly in front of the speaker a plate?
my question is; is a xmax of 10.5 mm ( void V 18 1000 ) not too much?wouldn't the membrane hit against tthis plate? ( im talking about the the round plate with the rectangular hole in it)

im sorry about this bad english

Check the plans carefully. It has recessed circle on the baffle where the suspension will be able to his the baffle.
