cu.ft for 2 walled 18's all out spl car

[Gavin]

To all the SPL astrovan users out there.. what are some of the do's and don't of this van. My team mate and I are now really thinking about switching. All the big boys are using these vans so I know they can get hella loud! It will be walled off, holding 2 18" subs, 4 goliaths and 8 16v power master batts. It will be all out SPL, (SS 1~2) I know I will use a ported box, but what W D H (cu.ft) measurements worked best that you know of?

Ask on termpro.com if you really need an answer. There's more people running vans on there than here.

I don't understand what your trying to ask with what you high lighted in the quote.

try a bandpass 

I bit scared of the bandpass design, I built it wrong last time and It cost me a recone, and living in Japan, a recone can be expensive! but I did want to try a design that I saw a while back, the same type of design that is in scott owens truck.. the tube design, I hear dante and some others are using it. I have no idea on how to build it or tune it.. suggestions please.

Well I was GONNA say check out PornStar's build on ROE but their forum is still down. I read all 35+ pages of that aswome thread KNOWING I had a test in the morning and it was worth it. Do you know who I'm talkin bout he was Team MaxxSonics too.

He only did an "unofficial" 160 on the new TL and a high 50's number. He started with 1-18" RE and then switched to 2 subs (same). Ask him, I think he rebuilt at least 10 times in an essentially wood/concrete filled mini truck with a bandbass design.

Crazy....Crazy LOUD!
