So they gave you two drivers and a bunch of wood if you paid for the shipping?
Nice

The Faital Pros are much better, but a bit more expensive.

Thanks for the speaker suggestions.

No TH_1819 build ? with 18XL1600 driver it is still one of the best subwoofers I have ever heard

Hi ZivkoF, I am still 50-50 because the Faital 18FH500 price can't be beat it is a very good design for the output. I like the 1819 for it's size and simple build, still looking for a better driver since the 18FH500 may not be strong enough for the rigors of PA use. Any other suggestion like the faital 18HP1060 driver would this work to 30Hz? Since this is a stronger woofer than the 18FH500 for the TH1819? thanks!

Hi djlivex,

the Faital 18HP1060 will work just great to 30Hz as at 2Pi sensitivity is 96,51 dB @ 1w/1m and SPL it is only down -6,63 dB @ 20Hz (89,88 dB) and SPL is 97,32 dB at 60Hz.

Good work. I just watched a youtube video of someone using this software, and I have to say it looks to be quite a pain to use. Sketchup is still free and there are plenty of tutorials to get you going.

That's pretty big, what were the old dimensions?

IC now:
The dimesions are (HxDxW) 1196 x 936 x 494. Millimeters

Depth is increased by 12 mm because I added the bracing between left and right side as seen in the 3d drawing. Bracing is now 12 mm instead of 18 mm, so the width is lesser by 6 mm.
