FANE PRIME 18XS 2x18 reflex box

   Hi guys looking into designs for the fane prime 18xs, i've heard it works well in a G SUB but given the box was built for drivers around 600w each at the time will it be a suitable box given drivers nowadays are now 1000w plus each? Also considered the B&C sub18 but making it 2x18 instead, would the G sub benefit from being modified to accomodate the modern more powerful drivers? Interested in thoughts!

	yes indeed do not build the g sub , it is pants, the b n c design will walk all over it ,have tested the 2 side by side tho we had single b n c cabs not a double its one my fav reflex free plans tbh :) make sure you brace it well tho, them drivers really move some air Edited by paulus - 07 December 2022 at 12:03pm

	I've got a B&C Sub18 (the older shelf port design) Loaded with a B&C 18DS115-4ohm and powered from a Powersoft X4 and it's really really decent So yes, build a double one!

	Thanks guys will look into the SUB18 design more, I did notice it has a distinct lack of bracing though which is a bit odd for a sub design!!

	Why not Fane's own suggestion? https://www.fane-international.com/downloads/FaneBR18XS-ReflexEnclosure111019.pdf It's not as easy to build, but 100% designed for your drivers 🙂
