Already engaged. The box will be based with steel putty, sanded, primed, sanded, primed, sanded, given 4-5 coats of pearl black car paint, clear laquered and then buffed with paint cutting cream and finally polished to mirror like finish. I don't want to go to this length on sealed design, at...

Late update I changed the idea of ported and went the easy route with 3.6 cu ft net sealed box (0.58 Qtc) for the final build. Used 24mm mdf all around with double front baffles for flush mount. Box is completed except for the final paint job. Got it made at home from a carpenter friend. Here...

Dayton 18 HO ordered. Thanks for info

what kind of net volume are we looking at for 18" driver per ported box? Also how about one box to house both subs, connecting them in parallel for 2 ohm final load.....what box size are we looking at???

I can get only the 12 and 10 inchers in Ultimax series. 15 inch is not available on amazon. So, what do you reckon now ..... 2 Dayton Ultimax 12" OR 2 Dayton Audio RSS460HO-4 18"??? OR even on individual head to head comparison, which will offer deeper and louder output?? thanks

I have and their subs are fantastic on paper, but unfortunately I cannot have them shipped here. In fact, we have an online retailer here in Pakistan who does direct business with Amazon. Anything that's there on amazon can be procured on the doorstep by this retailer within 2 weeks. So, Dayton...

Hi Robert.....I did away with the idea of RE audio subs. Been going through different DIY projects and it seems Dayton Audio wins hands down in price/performance area. Have you had any experience with any of the following drivers? - Dayton Audio RSS460HO-4 18" Reference HO Subwoofer 4 ohm -...

I know sealed is the simplest of all designs, but the ouput drops off way too early. You also run sealed subs. Do you apply eq below 40Hz to raise the low end? If you do apply eq, how much gain do you set in that region??

So what does it translate to in my case? Is it good or bad?? Dont mind my ignorance. 66" is absurdly long port. When I reduce port dia, I do get shorter length but the port velocity hits the roof and tuning also rises. How to resolve this issue?

Is there any chance I can tune my current DIY sub lower to 20Hz keeping the box size same? Currently it is tuned to 25Hz with 82L net volume having 4.38" Dia and 18" long round port. I am attaching the response taken with REW and SPL meter at an inch from the center of the sub cone; Is the...

I meant 2 subs in one box. As regards subs located in multiple places.....I am already using 2 and thinking of adding a third one. Bass is never enough.:)

Hey Robert yes I completely misunderstood you. Anyway I never meant any offense to anyone esp to you coz I've learned a lot from you. So pardon me if it sounded otherwise. Anyway you recommended Type X 15, but alpine does not have 15" in type x or at least it's not mentioned on their website...

So could you pls advise on which model to go for? The objective is to crush PB13 ultra just out of rage coz it will cost me more than double its price. Listening to Alpine DIY, I think it is easily achieveable with some better spec sub. So, pls narrow down on top 2 picks from RE. The amp is...

I was asking purely from performance stand point. Objective is flat response to bare minimum 20Hz and matching or preferably exceeding the performance of PB13 Ultra.

Can you explain why you would go with SEX model?
