May 18, 200718 yr hells yasomehow i get stuck with the small room!theres a movie theater room though...no windows....might put the 2 18's in there, see how they sound i asked him today, theres no attic above the movie theater, so that leaves out that option of some 18's IB in that room....Floor.sorry dude, but i see where hes comin from, no way will rents let him cut 18 inch holes in the floor and dump substantial noise into the rest of the house. thats just obvious. lol.You don't need holes that big, you can mount them in a baffle and have the baffle fire into the house. Sort of a box upstairs with the bottom side facing down into the room. Mount the subs on the outside and you are set. Really common for IB installs.

May 18, 200718 yr Author i would do one, but the amp i have is 700w x 2, and i wanna be able to use all the power
May 18, 200718 yr Author could you take a vid of you 15 and like walk outside your room and record if it shakes anything?
May 18, 200718 yr could you take a vid of you 15 and like walk outside your room and record if it shakes anything? i can, but not yet. and since my room is an entire floor of the house, i'd have to walk upstairs i need to build a box for it, the box its in now is tuned for around 47 hz, great spl, but no real bottom end. once i've got my box, i'll record one for you.the amp im going to be running it off is similar. im goin for the buttkicker amp. bk-1000a, 1100 watts at 4 ohm 2100 at 2. its more power than my single 15 needs. but i figure ill run it at 8 ohm, and hope for the best, its roughtly 550w rms @ 8 ohm. so no issues there. im sure as long as your not cranking on the gains you wouldnt have an issue running only one, but like i said, doesnt need a huge box. so you can build a 4' x 2' x 2' box and tune it low, use it as a coffee table. lol. just make sure the speakers are outta kicking range or you get some decent grills to keep em alive.

May 18, 200718 yr Author the coffee would rattle off The box isn't sturdy enough then...im seriously thinkin about buildin a box for 2 18's, down firing, and making the top like double or triple thick, and using it as like a desk/extra large night stand lol.ill do 3/4" mdf all around, and then get some birch and put that as the second layer, so i can stain it to match my furniture. where should the port come out at if i downfire the 18s?

May 18, 200718 yr Don't just double or tripple layer it, use a swiss-cheese style bracing in a matrix style bracing setup.
May 19, 200718 yr Author what is swiss cheese style bracing and matrix bracing?who wants to design me a box for 2 18s so i can build it Edited May 19, 200718 yr by pimpedout97x
May 31, 200718 yr what is swiss cheese style bracing and matrix bracing?who wants to design me a box for 2 18s so i can build it I'm guessing he means "window" bracing, like this. Ties all the sides together, so VERY strong. But I also did double thick walls just to be sure.
