Do the 18s like the lows?

[Thewes]

I've always loved sundown and thinking about running 2 18s in a ridiculously low tuned box. How would the 18 nightshades like 28-30 hz?

If I'm not mistaken most every 18 inch woofer is made with the intentions of Deep Bass.....Don't see why SD would be any different.

I mean sure you could tune your box for your 18's to be more musical then just a deep note hitter (My Burban) but most people buy 18's because they get low.... :

Yeah some woofers just handle lower notes better. I have no idea what mechanical aspect of the sub its based on, but each sub is definitley unique. Kind of general to say 18s are made to "get low", but I feel you. Can't hurt to see if anyone else is running these in a box tuned to 28-30sh.

you have to remeber its 90%box 10% equipment

^^^what he said (tho i go 80%/20% ) but if the box is tuned right...yes they will. mine is tuned to 35-36 hz and they play them just fine. if you build it...bass will come

usually the mass of an 18" cone lowers the Fs enough that low notes are very prominent when compared to the same speaker in a smaller size

nightshades have a pretty stiff suspension so i doubt u need to tune that low, iirc 34hz is a good note.... so 32hz at the lowest maybe

but the box will ultimately dictate what notes the subs responds best too

Thay will play the lows just fine ,as its been said above your box will dictate how low>>

I think its more like 75% knowing what to do and 25% box and equipment....

Two NightShade 18s playing Gorilla Zoe - Waddle screwed version peaking @ 31hz. Is that low enough for you?

Just a little fyi. All Sundown subwoofers play the lows just fine. Even the little Sa-12s will get loud & low down in the 20hz range.

Its not that I need to tune it that low, I want to tune it that low. Thanks for the vid derrick good looking out. I guess Ill tune it to 28 and see how they like it.
