snb778 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Time for a new sub (or possibly a recone). Blew mine yesterday (18" Treo SSX) Looking for opinions. Running a Skar rp3500.1 on solid electrical. Budget is about $450. I have net 4.3cu. ft to work with if ported, with all displacements included. I'm open to options, 2x 12's ported, 2x15's sealed (no room to port), another 18" (seems Skar is the only decent 18 in my budget), etc etc. Most 15's i've seen still require more than 2.5cu ft. per sub. I can get away with 5.5cu. ft with a sealed box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t they usually require 7 odd cubic feet ? actually I take that back that sub only requires 4 cubic feet!

I think last setup I had it in 5.2cu ft and it sounded much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfiend316 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Sundown says 4 cuft is good for the U18. I have one waiting to go in the car right now, just havent got around to it. Only 1500 rms though... and they run about $480, but go on sale often it seems. I git mine for (I think) 350 or so from d4s a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
