EXO Needs YOU! 18" Subwoofer Enclosure Design - Ascendant Audio Mayhem

[EXOcontralto]

Alright guys here's the deal - I really just need one box for the moment. Can someone please run up those designs for a box tuned to 30-32hz

I have plenty of room -

ANY PLANS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND GREATLY RECOGNIZED!

am i the only one thinking that walling 18 with that much space is a little overkill?... i think a nice box around 8-9 cubes would do better am i right?

Yea it would be overkill. I think he is looking for more in the lines of subs up port back.

Overkill? - I'm not going to be mounting the subs in a permanat horozontal wall situation -

I'm doing the wall to literally cut down the massive amount of airspace i have -

Why are you guys saying it's overkill? - It would improve SPL, be easier on the eyes, and more useful as a vehicle to have a whole space empty for something else -

Are there reasons why you guys don't agree with a little wall barrier?

I wouldn't do a wall with 1 18 in your van, now I would do a wall for say 3 to 4 18s.

Hmmm. I disagree - I'd wall for 1 or 2 - but not for 4 -

When you have that much cone area with 4 18's the massive airspace isn't an issue anymore because they move the air like nuthin

1 or 2 18's has a harder time movin that same amout of air - Therefore I'd rather just decrease the actual airspace , so I can bang louder.

I had one kid design a nice box, but it was for 2 subwoofers, not one - I really appreciate his hard work doing all that for me - unfortunately I only have 1 18 inch woofer - If anyone can help, I will be so thankful.

That's cool. The best I could do for you is pencil and paper drawing. But I would need a lot more dimensions

anytime you cut down the volume you need to pressurize, you'll see improvement. 4 18's in a wall would be better than two 18's (given both boxes are equal) because you have that much more cone area pressurizing the same space as 2 18's. like you said, the 2 18's have a harder time moving the same amount of air, but with both both setups in a wall the 2 18's would still have a harder time moving the same amount of air as the 4 18's
