RCF loaded? not too sure.
and whats your xover points w/ the scoops
very nice build tho


Posted By: Static Age
Date Posted: 30 January 2008 at 3:23pm
the RCF drivers were put in purely for a test. i x overed from the scoops to the ES18 at 80hz & ran the ES18 upto 190hz.
 
the combination worked very well & it would appear that the ES18 is a great choice for a kick bin above scoops (or any other sub).
 
i also tried the ES18 on there own running 30-190hz, this sounded ok. i then changed the high pass to 50hz, the bass was completely different, so much more defined & louder.
 
if you had a system that mainly played techno or music with no a great deal going on below 45hz then a stack of ES18-bph really would be a good choice, these cabs really do give a solid defined kick!

What driver will you be using in them ? I should also ask what is the recommended driver ?

I was a bit slow there.


Posted By: Static Age
Date Posted: 30 January 2008 at 3:33pm
the driver in the pics is an older model RCF, its no longer in production & i cant remember the model No right now but they are 1000w RMS. i will post the model number up as soon as i remember/ look at the drivers next.
 
the cabs were designed to be used with P Audio C18650EL or SD18 depending on how low you want them to play.
 
Tekasis, if you are thinking of using these above scoops then you wont be dissapointed.
 
edit: thanks for all the good feedback guys Big%20smile

Yeah! well when I previously mentioned above scoops all I kept hearing was HD's or some type of 15'' cab, but I wanted something to play a bit lower, then started looking at these.
 
Especially that they are singles & a bit easier to move.
 
Think I got to seriously consider these over G-Subs!

wouldnt they be louder than G subs?
obviously not lower but thats where the scoops pick up

if you want them for use above scoops then the ES18 is way better than the G Sub, its louder & more defined in that frequency band, i really cant emphasize enough how much the ES18 kicks.
 
regarding the ES18 vs HD15: the ES18 has the ability to play louder & higher, i also find the ES18 has a more 'hi-fi' sound than the HD15.
 
though if van space is a premium the HD15 is smaller than the ES18.
 
i would just like to add that i have heard, G subs, HD15 & of course ES18-BPH & the above statement is purely based on my opinion.

they are very easy to make, the angles are very straight forward.
 
i cut the panels on a table saw but a decent hand saw would make just as good of a job.
 
as for using them under 115 style bins, like i said in my other post the ES18 really doesnt offer much below 50hz, i guess in groups of 6-8 they might get down to 45hz.

something i've been wondering....
 
if you keep raising the lower cuttoff to a higher & higher frequency does it get louder and more "kicky" for the same input? like 30Hz to 50hz made it louder and with more kick... so do you think if you raised the low cut to 70-80Hz it would sound alright? and would it be louder? say 70-190, or would that just be stupid as they're not designed for that band width.....?


Posted By: mashgwan
Date Posted: 30 January 2008 at 6:38pm
i think the fane version of the 115 play higher, also we already have the c650 drivers and we cant think what else to put them in as we want some loud cabs for outdoor use we play lot of tekno and breaks, what frequency are you using your es18's at


Posted By: HansA
Date Posted: 30 January 2008 at 6:48pm
Sweet build. They look very nice.


Any specs on these cabs? Frequenzy range? Sensitivity?

i have been using them above subs 80-190hz. although as i previously said they can be used on there own succesfully 50-190hz.
 
the plans state that they can be used upto 250hz but i have yet to try this.

cheers, if you get the chance to try em up to 250, could you tell me what they sound like, i would have thought they'd struggle to get up that high with out sounding weird...


Posted By: Static Age
Date Posted: 30 January 2008 at 7:12pm
i agree jake, thats why i havent tried it already. though as i have prevously mentioned they do sound better up higher than a HD15, most people agree that a HD15 doesnt sound so good above 150hz ish, where as the ES18 sounds great upto 180-190hz.
 
perhaps this is how FK1 & turbosound achieve the higher frequency extension from their 18" bass cabs?

Great build static, and thanks for the feedback.

Only problem is, layed horizontally, they look like they would be wider than 2x scoops stood vertically.

However, would make for a nicely balanced stack, with 2x vertical scoops, 2x vertixal ES18s, and 2x MT121's above that.

Posted By: Static Age
Date Posted: 30 January 2008 at 7:57pm
the USB is a variant of the ES18-BPH so i guess they would sound quite similar.
 
Davey T said he designed the USB specifically for use above sub cabinets, in his case LAB Subwoofers.
 
i'm sure someone could dig up the original USB thread to clarify this, i think it may contain info from Davey on how he expected this kind of cab to perform in multiples without subs underneath.

if youv got c18 650 then maybey consider x1. for reasons that arnt exactly hard to imagine

This is what I hope to be able to do, either by biting the bullet and getting a couple made and trying then alongside an F218 myself, or if someone could let us know how they sound when theyre x-over'd at say 40hz-120hz when loaded with an SD18. (maybe a bit of EQ necessary).
Would be good to know if they have anything happening below 50Hz, or if that's just going to destroy the driver!

as i said in earlier posts the cabs are currently loaded with RCF drivers though i couldnt remember what model.

they are RCFL18-851KN, as i already mentioned this driver is no longer in production.
 
i'm struggeling to find any info on this driver other than it is 1000w RMS, so if anyone has the TS for it i would be greatfull.

thats a big magnet on the V18 1000 Tek, not sure if it would fit in the ES-18BPH without measuring up.

That would be a waste of a very good sub driver, Tek.

Better to stick with PD186, Celestion FTR, B&C 18PS100, PD188.

I know that SD-18EL (not SD-18) does not fit, and the void is very similar in dimensions

woudlnt be a waste if it sounded better than all of the others you listed, mind you i purely speculating, i actually have no idea how it would sound, as has been said some modification would be needed

Never knock till you've tried it they say!!!
 
I see you ain't mentioned any 18Sound drivers! Out of the many 18's they do, you must know one or more must be a killer in this cab.

That's what I thought.
 
I heard a double bandpass loaded with two v18-1000's & it was crazy, if this cab can sound like half of it I reckon it's worth a try!
 
But where would one start ?
 
Look how close the magnet of the SD18 is...

I've thought about the V18-1000 thing.
I've done a bit of geometry, and I think adding a baffle to make it double thickness and making grooves similar to those in the HOG would enable the the Void to fit.
This will alter the volumes slightly, the front chamber volume could have a bit of expnding foam in the corners to compensate, but there's not much to be done with the rear. I'm not sure if the difference is big enough to matter.

You're one for doing things simply but doing them bloody well aren't you Tony? We all know you brace the b'jeezus out of your cabs. I think TS had a similar philosophy. Their cabs are a lot more common though, which means people are less reluctant to rip them apart and see how they work. Plus they sound good. If it ain't broke...

I know some people won't recognize the turbo bit from the outside, but when you look at the horn shape and path, it's turbo. I understand that when there's a good cab about, someone is bound to want to copy it. Making an improvement is great, and easy to do on Turbo cabs. Inspite of there great sound for size ratio, they were always built on a minimum materials principal. So easy to beef up.

Bare in mind that as with nearly all band pass 18" horns you are going to need a stack of 8 of these before you get serious levels of output, 4 will be ok but will be by no means near the full potential of the cab, nor will it go that low.

As for mid tops - porn horns? MT102? MT122?

im thinking about using 4 of these with 2 tms4 or something similar


Posted By: Static Age

about three & a half sheets will make 4 cabs, if you plan your cuts carefully.
 
if there is one kind of music these do well its psytrance, it sounds great through them!
 
TMS4 are good cabs but using them with ES18 will have you wondering what to do with the 18" section of the TMS4.
Do you cross over from the ES18 to the 18" turbo, this leaves the 18" turbo only playing a very small frequency band say 190-250hz.
Or do you used the 18" section of the TMS4 to cover the same frequency as the ES18?
 
personally i would use a different kind of cab for mid/high above the ES18, something without its own bass section.

HD15's for mid above ES18-BPH, err no. some kind of 12" straight horn between the ES18 & TSE111 would be good.
 
like Mark says i would go for a mid/ high cab that can play low enough to meet the ES18-BPH. reflex 10" or 12" would do it, half X10 or half X12.
 
have you seen my MT101 (single version of MT102) horns? i have modified the plan so they are the same width as the ES18. very compact & loud.

good stuff. it seems that there is quite a wide choice of drivers that work well in these cabs.
 
i have tried both RCF & Eminence, both sound great.

6x ES18-BPH a side with 2x MT-121 [or better Porn MK2] a side.


I've AutCAD'd the drawings for an ES218-BPH,
I plan on 3 ES218's per side with 2 x MT121's,
Drum & Bass/Dubstep
Is it worth going for the SD-18's to get the lower extension?  or do I need some dedicated subs goin on the bottom?
USB2's for one cab solution???

as i said in earlier posts the cabs are currently loaded with RCF drivers though i couldnt remember what model.

they are RCFL18-851KN, as i already mentioned this driver is no longer in production.
 
i'm struggeling to find any info on this driver other than it is 1000w RMS, so if anyone has the TS for it i would be greatfull.
 
 A little bit out of date this thread, but I just dug up 2 links on these as I saw some on ebay:

First one is probably more use, sorry too drunk to read rest of posts, this may have been answered already!!

can anyone explain how the BRACES X2 from the plans fit in...it doesnt seem right from the plan and those mouth braces may need to be made differently?  Im planning a build...

Edit: i now see they go all the way to the back and probably need some kind of "notch" cut in them for slotting into panel "B"

looks easier to make a different kind of brace, lol
