what is the best driver for wbin box?
There are literally thousands of "Wbin" designs, no one size fits all "best".
I would like as low as possible.
Then look for the biggest designs with the longest horn path possible. The JBL 4818 drops off below 60Hz like a rock.
The 35Hz Fb (port tuning) is mainly just to vent hot air.

the parameters can I be these?
qts = 027
mms = max 150gr
bl = min 24
xmax =? it's important?
Every doubling of Xmax results in potentially +6dB more maximum output, but also requires +6dB more power.
For an 18" to be stiff enough to handle high power and high excursion in a FLH (front loaded horn) without the cone shredding, it will require more than 182 grams mms.
