Woooot! Cant wait...

I just put in an order too, for 2. Hope its not too late. Half an hour

How underrated are they usually? just curious because I have a zed audio made US acoustics USA series II (IIRC) 4050 that does 50 watts per channel, Im assuming at 12 volts. So has anyone every benched this amp or a similar one to see what it actually does at normal operating conditions? Im thinking that maybe i should just keep it to run active with and sell my other amps (need the cash). Im guessing maybe around 75 per channel... Thanks guys

Its all good djjnap, thanks for looking out for me. I jsut think the whole building the box and installing/testing is the funnest part of car audio IMO. Whcih is why I try new things...to learn and gain experience in a never ending hobby And shame on you on messing up on cone area...didnt you take HS math? JK

Lol I wasnt getting the 18s to get much louder. I just love playing with new things. Im finished with 8s (BTW I was giving each 400W, almost double the power is a little audible ) so it was time to get something new. Ive played with eights, tens, and 12s. I am yet to play with 15s and 18s. Hence the change The reason I was going to go with the 18s was to have a little fun with them. To see what they can do. My four 8s are plenty loud just not low enough for obvious reasons. I didnt feel like making another box for them, it was time for a change. Either way im not going with the 18s because of the space requirements. Im going with a single 15 that I got for a killer deal. Ill only be losing around 30 Square inches of cone area. Its going into a 4.3 cube enclosure tuned to 28hz That should be fun....

I let Mark know earlier today...it works for me now...

Some of you may know me from car stereos, CA.com, or maybe even club240.com and maxima.org. Same screen name everywhere... Soooo....HEY!

Im going to go ahead and try four cubes and see how it sounds. I know its kinda small for an 18, but the ED 18 for example (which will never come out, lol) Can work in a vented box as small as 3.5 cubes per their website. Its only MDF, I can always sell one and make a bigger box for the second. Lets get rolling on the 4 ohm versions, Mark. Im ready to buy

You are correct ANy opinions?

Ok heres the deal. Im getting ready to sell my Assassins to go with a different setup. Im especially intereseted in the MJ18. After playing around with different box sizes, I have calculated that the biggest box I can get out of the Maxima is about 8.5 cubes NET while sitll being able to take it in and out of the car. What would you guys do with this space? I have a few otions. I can port two Mj's with about 4 cubes each after all displacement. two 4 inch ports would be used. Will this choke the 18s too much? I can seal each MJ in 4 cubes or less. Or I can do a single ported MJ in about 8 cubes. With a dual setup (4 ohm version)Each MJ will recieve 500 watts. With only one, the power would be 450watts. Which would you choose? Thanks for the help, great site you guys have here I cant believe I never stubled across it -Serg
