Opinion on MA Audio HK 18's?


Recommended Posts

I have one right now and am considering putting two (or just sticking with 1?) in a 1996 Chevy 2500 extended cab to replace my 4x Kicker 10's (2 2005 L5's and 2 ~2001 L7's lol).

Unfortunately I cant find any specs for them on the net anywhere other than the coil ratings (5kw rms, quad 1.3 ohm titanium 4" coils). So should I stick with the MA('s) or go a different route? Currently i've got a single Lanzar Opti2000D, might get a second.

Pics of the 4 10's just for those interested ;)

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

Interesting, was wondering what happened to them. Thanks.

These are before Jensen/Dual though I think. As to blowing them up, i'm not too worried on that front. I'm sure they will last me long enough or i'll pick up some LMS drivers before then.

Anyone got a clue what kind of box volume I should be looking at for them? I read somewhere that about 6-7 cubic feet each is good but havent seen a spec sheet so its hard to tell. Also looking to tune them as low into the 20hz range as possible as I have a thing for low frequencies.. lol. Dont worry though, the current train of thought is to make the port changeable so I can swap it to 30+ for racing or whatever ;)

Thanks
