Anyone know the rec. sealed box for an 18'' RE XXX, 2005?

[av8ter 10+ year member]

Getting mine in the mail tomorrow and I am going to run it sealed in my teg, I don't have the room for ported.

Standard 4 cubes sealed as most 18s like?

Anyone know for sure?

Anyone have experience with a 05' XXX RE 18'' sealed?

Going to run the sub with 1500-1800 watts.......

Mine sounded great in 4.4cuft sealed. 4cuft after disp is perfect for that sub. If you ever get rid of it, let me know

 

[av8ter 10+ year member]

So displacement is .4 cuft?

How did you like it sealed? Get loud?

I think I am going to keep this sub for the rest of my life lol. Just had it built by Team PSI.

All black basket(12 spoke), push pin terminals, original dustcap, 8 layer coil......

Soooo excited.

Louder than my Omega 12 on half the power. I loved it. I want to do 2 15s sealed if I can find some

Yep, 4 cubes sealed was recommended. Id recommend 4-4.5 cubes.

 

[av8ter 10+ year member]

Any idea what frequency it will peak at with 4 cubes?

Oh, and do you know the mounting depth and displacement by chance?

Depth was right around 10" iirc. Disp, I'm not sure about, but build it about 4.5-4.8 before sub, and you'll be fine. Actually, Audioholic was the one who gave me the idea of box size when I had mine. I trust his input

 

[iamamp3pimp 5,000+ posts]

displacement is .22 iirc, and as far as where it will peak, we cant tell you really, you will only be able to find that out by putting it on the termlab.

 

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

In a sealed enclosure, its gonna peak where your vehicle's resonant frequency occurs. .22 sounds closer to correct for displacement than does .4, as my 15's are .18 iirc.

my box was 4.45 cubes + .25 for displacement, so 4.70 cubes total

sounded like ear sex, but wouldn't fit in my trunk:crap:

somewhat off topic but if i were to put a DD 3518 in a sealed box any suggestions on size? or would that be blasphemy?

 

[iamamp3pimp 5,000+ posts]

that would be createanotherthread worthy, and i wouldnt do it.

 

[rosshimself13 10+ year member]

didnt want to start a new thread and get flamed for asking what may be a stupid question... thanks for your answer
