Hi All,
I have just taken delivery of 4 Fane 18 XB drivers and was originally going to put them in T18 cabinets. But perhaps the 186
cabinets might be a better option. Any thoughts ?

The 18XB will fall apart in the 186 horn.

how'd you work that out?

18XB are VERY similar to PD186.

The cone of the XB won't last I'm afraid. You'd probably be better off with the 18B in the 186 horn.

well you cant use them in 15" scoops because its a 18" driver but the 18xb works well in the superscooper. not sure about other scoops.

well ov course i would have to get the 15inch version for the 15 scoops but i think for the money they would be the best choice they will be sat on top of 4 thunder ridge duel 15" bins loaded with 600wdrivers not sure what one got put in there got to have a look when they come on friday but ive heard em and there lush YEP
