Don't give up yet mush like anything in life at appears to be simple at the beginning but it's not .if you are wholeheartedly sit on using that driver maybe look in to a tapped horn I think there are 2 or 3 plans that may be suitable for the x451 .

I'm absolutely dead set on using that driver I just thought seeing as it's rated at 18,000 watts AES and has a 13.5mm xmax figure that two in an enclosure would give some serious bass. I don't know anyone that could say for definate that the driver could be excellent in a horn or what horn and I don't know anyone that could make the horn enclosures for me. I ideally wanted two dual 18" enclosures to give me some serious powerful sub bass.

For the amount you're insisting on spending on drivers, why not spring a little more on a saw, a straight edge, and a screwgun? Building a box is the easy part. Knowing what you actually want and designing one that does it is the trick.

Then since you're paying for premium drivers budget for premium built boxes. Plenty of builders out there and a reflex cab is usually easier to knock out.

I can read. The box is just wood, not Fane wood  . The idea was as a big enough box for you to start from then play with ports to get to your goal |

So you don't want to learn how to use sims
You don't want to learn how to do carpentry. You have no money. People have been trying to help, spending their time. Perhaps some more background on you? Age, job, background in PA or Music? |
