Q18 in 5 cubes sealed?

[duece212 0]

Lookin for info on the q18, you guys recommend 4 to 8 cubes for the 18 sealed. With ~1kw each would 5 cubes each be acceptable? I'm looking for them to carry into the upper range a little more so I'm thinking a smaller box would fit that. Toying with the idea of doing 3 of them sealed in my ext cab truck on a saz3000 for a bassrace/daily ground pounding application.

I'm currently running an hdc318 on 2200w and it gets downright loud and I like the upper end response as well as the lows it gets, just looking to try something different. Always wanted to try a large sealed application that got loud both bottom and top end, just not sure if the q18 will do it, which is why I was thinking of trying a smaller box as even in a small box cone area should get me the lows.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Also is there anything in the ascendant line that would be close to the power range and fit the bill as more of a "loud" woofer and less of a bottom end woofer in a sealed config?

I have mine in a sealed 5.75 internal after all displacements, and it destroys the lows w/1000wrms. The sub doesnt like much above 50hz in this box though but deffinately moves some air down low
