Skar EVL-18's sealed enclosure question..


Recommended Posts

They recommend 3.0 ft^3 after displacement. The issue I'm having is, I don't want to build an enclosure that looks goofy in my G-body. It will sit in the rear seat location, seat removed. I want the enclosure to fill most of the area, under window. My total after displacement is 9.25, which will be 3+ more than recommended. I want it to be as flat as possible so I can listen to everything. What do you guys recommend? Will it fly as is or should I figure out how to make the space smaller.. 3 cubes seems small for the 18, but then again not sure thats why I ask..

I dunno man the EVL is a low note monster, I cant imagine it playing very flat in any enclosure.  It reminds me of the SP4 in a huge box with a port.  Likes the lows.

And, you dont have to build the enclosure to max dims. Build a 4cf enclosure and beauty panel/cover/ fill in the rest. Just because you have 400 cubes available doesnt mean you MUST use. Or, build it to 9cf and use 2 drivers. A billion options out there

What 18 isn't a lowend monster?? Win ISD shows it pretty flat from 40 up.. Not sure how Accurate Win ISD is but the graph looks pretty good for what my goals are..
