Is anybody here with real life experience with 18sw115 in cubo sub? I have 8 pieces and trying to figure out the best cabinet for them. The only thing I know now is BR is much more better for this speaker then folded horn and BPH. Actualy not works in BPH.
Hornresp data for Cubo Sub would be welcomed also.
thanks in advance

Those crazy drivers are basically the flagship drivers from most Europian brands (like RCF, 18Sound, B&C, Faital Pro, BMS, etc.). Typically 18" and 21" drivers with 5" VC with 1500 - 1800 W AES powerhandling, more Xmax than the Void and PD, much more Xmech (just in case) and a neodymium magnet to save your back
Imho you don't need to go lower for PA-purposes then Cubo Sub delivers, scoops and mini-scoops might get there and might not, depending on the exact model you're talking about.
@SPL fanatic: For most BPH there are better choices but for anything that is ment as a true sub (such as Cubo Sub), the 18SW115 is a logical choice.

The NU6000DSP will put out ~1800 watts, but voltage drops on material with sub-bass for extended periods of time. The 18TBW100 is rated for 1500 watts RMS, 3000 program, and I've found that it handles everything the NU6000DSP throws at it with ease in this cabinet. Extended sub-bass performance should be better with a heavy class H, A/B amp such as the Cerwin Vega CV5000, as it has more capacitance and sustains maximum output on more demanding material for a longer period of time.
Sometimes I run a single Cubo Sub with an old Yorkville AP3000 in bridged mode, giving the sub ~2400 watts continuous (4800 peak). I find this setup gets the most out of the sub given my equipment, but I only have one.
If you are willing to spend the coin and take a gamble, check out the Sanway FP-14000 thread on the AVS forum. It's a Chinese clone of a Lab-Gruppen, but reliability is definitely not guaranteed.

From the PDN I would expect perhaps a bit emphasis around the higher crossover, whilst in theory the PD.2150 would be the best for around 30 Hz. Imho not so much that it would warrant the extra 15 kg you have to lug around with the 2150. You might be able to measure a difference but I don't think you'll hear the difference down low.

Thanks, i can get hold of this driver in a 4 ohm version and quite abit cheaper:
www.eighteensound.it/PRODUCTS456/Product...odID=63#.V48WRDX4KnN
has an extremely high power handling, 14mm xmax, but a fs of 37 hz, this a concern for getting deep 30hz bass in the cubo sub? or does it not matter in this design? says its suitable for horn loaded or bandpass boxes, since the cubo sub is a hybrid of these (i think), we have a winner? says it goes down to 25, im just concerned with the fs (could mean nothing, im a noob)
Heres the pdn.2151 i meationed's specs:
www.precision-devices.com/Product-Details/PDN2151
which will be most suitable in a cubo sub for 30hz bass?
thanks dude
