No i wanna put other drivers in it, instead of the jbl's. If i put PD.1850 or void acoustics v18, what would it sound like?

the wbin was a failure thats why it was discontinued so quickley i knew a fellow that had 48 of these mistakes , but if you want you can load them with the 2241 or gauss 18

Interestingly,that photo is almost  identical to the Court acoustics 18" port-assisted w-bin,produced around the same time,early 1980's i think?

That's a bit strong. Literally thousands of these were made by JBL, SA(Holland) and countless others. The Keele W box was, for its time, quite efficient. Me and my mates still have an old W/Court/4512 rig and we still use it sometimes.

We also have them loaded with 2240. I think if you load it with an 1850, you would start to have to reinforce the bracing. With a 2240 at high power the box colours the sound a lot already, big horn honk, can only imagine what would happen with an 1850.

Edit: Maybe a fresh calculation of the ports would help for an 1850.
