@weltersys any modeling on the 18 Sound tetracoil 18" sub? It's what Meyer's using in the 1100 LFC and is one of the best sounding subs on the market right now. 18NTLW5000
No.
The 18NTLW5000 has slightly more power handling and excursion than the B&C18SW115, but is 310mm (12.2") deep, it's magnet structure would protrude from the front of the Keystone.
What are those competition car drivers?
The 18NTLW5000 has a relatively light, ribbed curvilinear cone with a triple roll surround and a neodymium magnet structure.
Most competition car drivers use heavy conical cones, half roll surrounds and ferrite slab magnet structures.

@weltersys The neodymium series of car speakers have motors that deep. Go see Sundown for reference. The remark of "like car audio" is funny though.
@weltersys
I mean looks like physically with a monster protruding magnet structure.
Not that they are alikes copies with same cone,surround and magnet structure

Why would you? These have stiff suspension and low Vas indicating extreme alignments, but that's not how this pressure device is to be used. There are pneumatic laws going on there, not accoustical. You can ignore most TS parameters. Different game.
Then it takes up three cubic feet of your vehicle’s interior 😱
We can’t have that…. The whole things supposed to be the size of a six pack of beer. /sarcasm
And sticking out the mouth of a TH is a good way to need to buy new drivers. If there is a way to break it someone will. Conventional 6 or 7 cubic foot (net) reflex boxes it might be practical.

Yeah, I wonder when the extreme excursion and small csa in a proper tapped horn shaped resonator @ entry isn’t just a fawk fest ?
Hi all. I've read through this thread once or twice but have a couple of (amateurish) questions.
Has anyone used these as a single, rather than a stack? I'm not looking to use this for pro audio, but I do have a space that I sometimes put on small, private parties. As much as a group of 2-4 of these is great I'm not looking for overkill, more tonality and immersion.
Am I dreaming to think that the SB Audience 18SW1900D would physically fit in there? It's 256mm to the furthest bevelled part of the magnet, and if it hits xmax would it be cutting it too fine on baffle clearance? I live in a part of the world where the SBA drivers are 1/3-1/2 the price of equivalent B&C/18sound/etc drivers.

Depends on the needs, setup and approach. This driver has somewhat weaker motor, so it will be less efficient, and frequency response will have slightly less favourable shape. If you are willing to lise about 1-1.5dB of total SPL output, you can straighten the frequency response with EQ, and be done with it, it will work acoustically.
Not sure about mechanic issues with motor size.

The drivers Xmax won't affect baffle clearance.
Check the plans regarding depth, I think 256mm will just fit.
If one cabinet isn't enough, you can add more, but the 4x8 plywood layout favors making a pair.

Okay thanks, I'm still pretty new to all this. So would I be better off choosing a stronger motor, even if the power handling is lower? For around the same price that manufacturer has the lower power, but higher Bl 18SW1100D or 21SW1100D.
I'd love the B&C 18SW115, but for the price difference I could buy 3 drivers plus triple the ply, so losing 1-2db is an acceptable tradeoff.
I say ...yes
Just make more cabs
If space is not a limitation
Besides , having a nice big stack of subs
Looks impressive!!! 😎
And sound !!
