sound xtreme Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 unless you are gonna run about 4000 watts to it, run a 4XL, cuts weigh down on the weight. Box size, 7-8 cubes. Box wall thickness needs to be triple 3/4" board, baffle should be 4 layers thick. this is an extreme woofer, both in weight and in output capabilites. 1997 Astro front:6 sets of T3 componets Subs: 8 level 5 18"s (building 6th order BP) Amps: 4 really big ones (totalling just shy of 50K) Batts: Alt: Ohio Generator 1996 Chevy Suburban Sub amp: A fifth really big amp Subwoofer: 2-15" DC Level 4 XL Batts: C&D high rate--(x4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
