What kind of speaker did you use for this subwooferbox? Did you just go with the Eighteensound 18LW3000 as they suggested?

Yes, we used the 18TLW3000. We have made two of these subwoofers, and they sound really, really nice. However, I am starting to build a prototype for a new subwoofer design called the "Skram" by Josh Ricci, just to get a little bit more lower extension. If you are interested, I am thinking about selling both of our double 18's. I could bring them to Denmark as I will be driving there during the fall/winter months. They have barely been "driven in", and have been used for only 4 gigs, all with a Powersoft amp and with all limiters in use, so they haven't been abused in any way. DM me if you are interested. Wink

Skram is a 30Hz box, so i fail to see how it will go lower then the 18sound 2x18 box. And it wont be louder for sure.

The tuning can be dropped by blocking a vent. Also, we'll see the comparison regarding loudness SmileAtleast two will be louder than one 218 box, which will be about the same driver and amp cost. Also it might have nicer dimensions. I don't know what I want yet Smile

I'd like a copy of that file too if possible. Hoping to get a few of these built soon, although might try and modify it into a single 18 design.

I was after the fusion file with all the bracing improvements, hoping to be able to give the cabinet builder a bit more detail than just the 18Sound plans.

Also would making it into a single 18 be as simple as cutting this box in half, to effectively get two triangular vents similar to he B&C sub18
