Scapelli21 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 you can put the nightshade 18 in a 4 cube ported box they like smaller boxes like dusty was sayin That's what I like to hear. But I also like the lows so I'm a lil hesitant bout doing an 18 in such a small box you know? Also, wasn't planning on putting the DC's in sealed box or boxes. An 18 would be the only one in a sealed due to space limitations. Plus I understand a 15 ported could very well be louder than an 18 sealed...just looking at options right now.

whitedragon551 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) My DC is in a 4 cube box ported and tuned at 33Hz. Its actually the recommend SPL enclosure for the sub. It runs off of 1200 watts at 1-ohm and it hits hard. Its about the lowest on the scale for the sub. Its definately power hungry and could run off 1600 RMS easily.

Something you could talk to jacob about But the Nightshades excel in smaller enclosures. 4 cubes seems to be right on the money for a single Nightshade 18. I give each one of my Nightshades 4 cubes each and they can get LOW. Low enough that I no longer play chopped and screwed music do to the destruction I have done already to my truck.

RamenNoodles Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Never seal any of those mentioned subwoofers. Might as well get a junk sub if you are going to seal one up. Quote Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
