Opinions on AA Havoc 18"

First off id measure before buying anything, because im not sure you could fit 4 18's in their with the proper enclosure.As for the enclosure the lower you go with tuning the easier it should be to pull off a hairtrick. For the subs i cant personally say as ive never used the havoc, but I do use a mayhem and from everything else ive seen from AA its a very high quality brand so you should be happy as long as your enclosure is built correctly.

bro, he's got a burban, trulywickedcustoms has one with 9 xl 15's in it..he has room for 4 18's without a problem..

c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old.

i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer.

not necasarilly hes only talking about pulling out the third row so it really depends on how he wants the box. idk though i could be wrong thats why i asked for measurements to be sure first

Thanks for the info on the tuning, I'll have to keep that in mind. As far as the 4 18's not fitting, I'm not sure I understand why?? I have a chevy suburban that is NOT going to have the third row seat. From the second row seat to the rear hatch that is about 5 or 6 ft. I have seen a number of Tahoes (obviously Steve Meade's) that have 4 18's in them and they are tight but they fit. I will have MORE room than a tahoe to work with so I'm unsure of why you don't think 4 18's will fit in my case.

You will spend as much on your electrical as you will on amps and subs. Be prepared to buy dual alts, 4 g31 bats minimum, and lots of wiring. Adding that up on the cheap you are looking at over $2000.00.

Since you are cutting costs on equipment before you start, why not go for lower power and more cone area?

I will need that much electrical for 4 Havocs? It's not so much that I'm wanting to cut costs, if that's what it takes then I will make it happen. Please don't think I'm trying to build a monster system on a fantasy budget cause that's NOT what I wanna do. I wanna build a respectable system. If it means using that much electrical to do it then I will.

I was looking at the Havocs cause they are lower power than the btl's and figured it would give me a good start to a bigger build in the future. But I'm new to this high end stuff so I'm trying to learn all I can about it before I make a plunge.

Thats all that Trulywickeddesigns did too. He still has his 2nd row too.

you dont NEED any electrical upgrades to drive the havocs, you NEED electrical upgrades to drive the amps. Anyway a quick word of advise if your going to go ahead and drop this much money on a build why not just drop the extra cash and do the build you want, otherwise your gonna get it built but youll still be thinking what if?
