6 Obsidian 18's in a tahoe


Recommended Posts

Yes, even though my electrical can't handle the full power of my SAE1200, they still get pretty loud. I'd imagine 6 18's would be freakin retarded.

They sound awesome too. Get low on rap, and I've never heard a clearer kick drum. And I listen to some pretty fast metal. each double bass kick is loud and clear. I don't have sound deadener, but I for sure need some. My hatch window and sunroof sound like they're gonna break.

Well that's what I'm going for lol. But the AQ's definitely don't get all that low since they're tuned to 36 hz. But I just wanted to try a low setup tuned to around 30 that will do some hair tricks for demos. And it seems like this would definitely be my best option on the amp that I have.

and if subs up/port back won't fit, I'll have to do a 4th order. Either way, just looking to move a lot of air. The AQ's just aren't cutting it.

what year is the tahoe ? If it is a 03 style it will not fit behind the 2nd row. If its an older one ( box style ) it will fit. I have an 03 tahoe and building a 20cf box now and it is a squeeeeeeze.

You won't fit 6x 18 in 4th

You'll need somewhere between 40-54cuft net

Even in a normal ported box will be 30-36net

With 5-550sq" of port,

That is one huge mother fucker of a box/wall

Myself mesure, plane, mesure again, then replane, before you buy anything,

If you get it all to fit, it will be one he'll of an acoplisment

I think he could get away with it by doing a close ratio. Like a 1.5:1 or maybe lower. I would honestly do 4 though, sometimes less is more.
