old dude Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yep this is my first time posting here I am waiting for my lev 5 18” to arrive here in Ohio I have drawn up some plans for the box to put them in. they will be going into my ford van I have two HO/alts, four batteries, I have a few different amps but none that I want to keep for these subs so I will be getting new amps. I am going to wait till the first of the year for those and use my old amps until then. I am thinking about 3000.1s for each sub and then adding 2 more 5s in the springtime. My box plans are for 8 cubes each sub slot ports 38 HZs this will be my first ported box design. I will send pics when I get started and will take any advice offered with much appreciation Quote mobile chornobyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 8 cubes is pretty large in my eyes, and 38hrz might be a little higher than you'll like for daily driving.i'd do more of like 6 cubes each at 35hrz. im sure others will have input too X2 6-6.5 cubes at around 35 hz. Thats a lot of power for that big of a box. I have heard those dc 18's before you wont be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old dude Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 thats alot less power too agreed i say 6-7 cubes and around 33-35Hz Thanks everyone advice taken its easy enough to change my plans now before I start building. 1” thick birch box volume 6.3834 @35 hz gives me a slot 4” wide by 22 high by 25.40 long that will change some once I figure in bracing Quote mobile chornobyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
