18 faital pro xl1600

[javiert]

I have 8 speakers 18 faital pro 18xl1600 what is the best box that you guys recommend for that speaker?

‘Best’ is a floating point along a curve of ‘best’ alignments based on the size, budget limitations and performance requirements, so you’ll have to be more specific.

I would say that it seems to work well in the Keystone.

Otherwise a packing crate with my address on it would be the absolute best box.

cool, I would like a pair for my hifi

I use the smaller 15" sister for my bass guitar
closed box, and pounds very hard when needed

but I guess you may need some kind of 'venting' to cool the driver
how about PPSL ?

Are they the 4Ω or 8Ω version?

Unless something has changed, they may have tinsel lead issues.

They do have great parameters for a 31hz PPSL with 6th order vented alignment, the vent may be an issue as the box will be so small.

If you don't mind a big box you might want to consider Art's Keystone.

I play in a band music and sometimes I rent the sound systemfor insight and outside shows and I have face amps t2000let's say that I want to bill the best sound system for 5000 people,I'm selling all my sound system so I can have a brand new but I want to have the best I have a box truck to move them so it is no problem to move them,so on,you opinion guys what is the best box for those speakers?*

It's still Keystone in that case.
Art is very knowledgeable and backs it up with experience and lots of research. (The building kind, not simulations)

Keystone Sub Using 18, 15, & 12 Inch Speakers
Proper drawings are somewhere in that thread.

Eight of those boxes would probably make quite some noise.

just curious ... what will be used above the 18" ?

and ... will this kind of woofer(s) always be used below 150hz only ?

may have good reasons like practical placement etc, but does seem like wasting a lot of expencive energy

this is a picture of my sound system those are from company here and United States call TV I which is I don't like it and want to build different boxes but different story first I want to build the subs,I bend use before jbl subs they are good for close range any idea different boxes and where I can get those plans I'm new at this?

Hi javiert,

If size and weight are not a problem and you want to 'steer' the bass (directivity) max possible and with highest sensitivity/output figures, you can Google for "super bass horn - startec".
