2 18"S - Slot Loaded vs 1Front and 1Down

[camplo]

I'm about to cut wood...but I wanted to get a second opinion on slot loading two 18"s vs 1 facing me and one floor loaded (3" off floor).....

Anyone feel strongly that one offers more sound quality than the other?

 

[manninen]

I would put it as pictured, vertical slot.
less vibration cause on ob those 18" can move a lot and they cause vibrations

 

[camplo]

Ok thanks for the input, it’s sealed I just left the sides off...

 

[manninen]

That double 18" must have nice punch but you have to cross them quite low and 2386 suffers floor reflection

 

[camplo]

2386 suffers floor reflection

can you elaborate? All horns are going to have reflections on the floor somewhere the response.

Oh, didn't check that was a horn. Quick look it was 10-12" direct radiating... How low it goes? Slotted 18" might have highest xo point 150ish, large peak from slot 250maybe.
