Posted August 9, 200718 yr Hay everyone...this kid i know wants 2 18's in his 04 explorer . I have been reading up on these and from what i read they are very nice . Anyway...how much port do these like . I'm thinking like 5-6 cubes each tuned to 35 hz...atleast 500 watts on each . He hasn't decided on amp yet . They are going to fire up and port up also . What do you guys think Thanks for any inputScott Edited August 22, 200718 yr by 82cutty

August 10, 200718 yr Author what year explorer??two would pound pretty goodnot sure on how much space to give em though04 explorer . Yeah it should sound nice . It's either these 18's or 4 15's of the black series from powerbass . Those are very nice for what they are
August 10, 200718 yr Admin There is also the MAW-15 from Mach5. But the pair of 18's ported and tuned low with a strong amp would be very cool.
August 10, 200718 yr Author There is also the MAW-15 from Mach5. But the pair of 18's ported and tuned low with a strong amp would be very cool.That's what I'm thinking . He gave me the money to buy one 18 today . Next week he'll have the money for the other one . I'll post some pictures when I get to installing . So what do they need atleast 500 watts ea. ? Do you know how much port they like ?
August 11, 200718 yr Author about 53 square inches of port area50in. for both or each ? I would think atleast 50 each . I'm going to tune it at 35 hz. Should sound nice I ordered 1 of the 18's yesturday...he should have the money for the other one next week . I'll post some pictures when I get this going
August 15, 200718 yr Author my bad eachSo is 6 cubes good . I have more room...what's the biggest i can go with these 18's
August 15, 200718 yr Author Infinite Baffle.They're going in an explorer so i'm going to port them . Is 6 cubes plenty ? Gonna tune to 35hz.
August 15, 200718 yr Author Sealed 6ft^3 is fine... need close to 8.5-9 ported.Sorry didn't specify...6 cubes ea. so 12 cubes total
August 15, 200718 yr Author Plan on powering these with 300W each or something? Too big...Ok so 4.5 - 5 cubes ea. is the most you would go with ported ? I'm just trying to get the most out of these . Going to have 1200 watts on the pair .
August 15, 200718 yr That is what I would go ported if I ran one ported... yes.Question is... at what freq?
August 15, 200718 yr Author That is what I would go ported if I ran one ported... yes.Question is... at what freq?35hz. Also how many inches of port do these need . I going to do a single slot port for the 2 . 100 inches of port for the 2 a good start ?
August 15, 200718 yr Author Yep.... better include LOTS of bracing & double baffle.Yeah I have 4 sheets of mdf allready and some 2 x 3's . Probably going to use some resin also . I double baffle everything i build lol .I just got the first 18 today...looks nice I'll post some pics of the build when I get it goingThanks for the help
August 15, 200718 yr Resin adds no strength... it only seals when used alone. Add some glass strands... and then you'll have something that can strengthen.
