Yea i want two 18" and i cant justify $400 speaker purchase at this moment... I dont wanna lose out on these SA-18 cuz they are discontinued tho... What do people usually throw at these SA series ? I hear 1k-1.5k on most sites despite the 600 RMS ratting... I dont/havent comp yet so i think it should handle 1k just fine ?

Masterbasser i dont expect big gains on less cone and power, i just thought one better quaility 18" will be able to play lower and cleaner than my current cheapie quantum 15's. These quantums play ok and i got them stinky a few times but not they thump everyday. I just to play decaf songs with more athority and air. Im tuned to 34hz and each sub is chambered to 3.2 feet net. I thought the build quaility alone from just one SA-18 will play lower and cleaner. My Xmax is 13mm and BL 9.9 the SA has an Xmax of 19mm and BL of 23

Do you have room for two 18"s? If you do, I'd probably be finding a way to come up with $400 somehow. You would be getting a LOT of sub for $200. If two 18"s is the direction you want to go, this is one hell of an opportunity.

FYI, the BL measurement by itself doesn't really mean much, it changes depending on the impedance of the coils and how they are wired.

For $400, I don't think you can go wrong.

I bit the bullet and Just bought two SA-18 D4 this morning. Car audio bargain is selling them new for $199 SHIPPED !!

Thanks for sharing this and yeah they have a free shipping option, just bought one for myself.

Going to use it for home audio duties.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

The coil is identical to the SA-10/12/15 -- which is a 2.5" coil with a 45mm winding length.

The motor of the SA-18 is substantially larger than the other SA series, though.
