Whoops. I accidentally voted "no" because, for some reason, I though the question was "is Carbon a spammer".

Why did you black out the price?
-
I'll be there!
What do you drive? So I know what to look out for
Just an ole Dodge Ram. lol
BTW: I'd like to hear that OA 12 since I've never herd one before.

You have a bass knob for a reason. lol

Wire that bitch to 1 ohm!

1 18 is more cone area by a little bit and would hit lower
The size of the sub has nothing to do with how low it can get.

I only play on PC. Let me know, I'm down... And the game looks absolutely amazing at 2560x1440

Awesome. I'm definitely in for a couple 18's. Will these also require only 4 ft^3 of ported airspace?
-
Put me down for one as soon as presale opens.
X2!

Good luck getting a hold of him. I tried a while back with no response...

You didn't have to delete my posts. I was just trying to help you out, Steve.
Anyways, good luck. Lots of badass parts.

Holy mother of surround!
What's the throw on this sub? 10"? LOL.
Looks badass.

Haters gonna hate. It's part of the "celebrityness". In the audio world, you're pretty much a celebrity. People will try to tear you down and chew you up for no reason. Just imagine how Justin Bieber feels when half of the comments on his videos are "Justin Bieber is a fag" or "Justin Bieber likes dick" etc. lol. As Kat Williams says "If you got 20 haters, you need to figure out how to get 40 of them motherf*ckers before the summer get here!" lol

Just ordered two sets.

If you do it right fiberglassing will make the box stronger. A lot of people use resin too, but most people use it to make sure the box is nice and sealed up rather then stronger. resin is a great way to make 45 degree angles on all your corners, too.
There are many types of bracing you can use, the 2x4 was just an example. Some people even use steel rods. I'm not sure how big you're going to make your box, but some 2x4's would be some very strong bracing...

Go big or go home I suppose.

Woofer displacement is the room the sub will take up inside the box. A 18" BTL has a displacement of .18 cuft. Two of them is .36. So you have to take that into consideration for the box size and tuning. So if you had a 10 cuft box before the displacement, than after the two BTL's displacement (.36) you would have a box that's 9.64 cuft. Same thing applies for brace displacement. Say you have two 2x4 running from front to back that are 20" long. Thats .18 cuft of displacement you also have to take into consideration. So your 10 cuft box now becomes 9.46 cuft.
The slot port on top and subs below will work good...

Your 18 SoloX won't hit lower @ 35Hz then your L7 @ 32Hz... Box size doesn't matter in this situation. It's all in the tuning. Your box could be 20 cubes, but if it's tuned to 35Hz it's not going to really hit any lower then a 4 cubed box tuned to 35Hz... Port area is the "area" of the port itself. For example, if I had a slot port that was 10" tall and 5" wide, that would be 50in of port area (10x5) Length x Width for area. For round ports it's a little different. if it's a 10" round port you take the radius(divide the diameter by 2) which is 5in, and square it (5x5) which is 25, than times that by pi (3.14) and that equals 78.5in of port area. So a 8" round port would be (4x4=16) than 16x3.14= 50.24in. It's really simple once you get the hang of it. So if you want 150in of port area and you're doing a slot port, you're going to want your port to be something like 20" tall x 7.5" wide (20 x 7.5 = 150in). This will depend on the dimensions of your box, though
box size, tuning, and port area always matter imo
I agree. When I said box size doesn't matter in that situation, I was trying to give an example that two different size boxes that are tuned to the same frequency are still going to hit the same frequency.
-
Thanks skrilla forilla but I meant how do you determine how much area you need for a certain size box volume/driver. What is theadvantage of a bigger box? Gets louder for some subs?
12-16 inches of port area per cube is the "ideal" goal. Some go a little less, and some go a little more. (I.E. Steve only has 120 inches of port area) but stick between 12-16 and you shouldn't have a problem...

Mine was a Sony Xplod 1200 amp. Used on a JL 10" W0...

They came out really nice. Good job.
I think you should also try spraying the whole wheel black in the future. Might look even better
