Posted March 8, 201213 yr Howdy, I am going to be walling the astro soon and wanted to get some ideas of what type of walls there are and whats the benefits to them.I am walling it with 8 18" icons I havent set the amp in stone yet but I am contemplating between a DC 12k or a Soundigital 16k. once again the amp is up for debate. There will be a multiple alternator setup with battery bank to supply the amp or amps that are chosen. but with all that out of the way!Dimensions I have to go with are 48" tall 51" wide and up to 97" deep but I really dont need that deep lol! we still need to leave room for amps and batteries! I was throwing around the idea of a clamshell or maybe a 4th order just not set on anything yet!This will be a daily driver but I would still love to meter it at comps and put up some strong numbers!If I left out any information that is needed please feel free to shun me and I will respond with information needed
March 8, 201213 yr It seems 4th order walls are fairly popular and with that much cone area and power, you have a recipe for disaster
March 8, 201213 yr Admin I say a vertical clam shell get my vote.Just like this one. Great looking wall IMO.
March 8, 201213 yr I vote front loaded horn ! got a crazy idea on paper (calculated) ,could adapt to 18's,it be bonkers
March 8, 201213 yr Author ok I think I am going with the vertical clam I have been pretty set on a clam and Im thinking the vertical will just be NUTTY! and then I can still get my lean on in the driver seat so im not making love to the steering wheel every where I go. Thanks for the input guys!
March 11, 201213 yr Besides the obvious, what difference does it make?Like advantage of one over another. I'm not up on my walls.
April 9, 201213 yr i always like a horizontal clam shell personally but that team rival vertical one looks nasty!!! could only imagine one like that with 8 18s
