JL 18W6 Excursion Vid

[RAM_Designs 25]

Just decided to throw up a little vid of the 18W6 going to work...not bad for $100, eh? Power is being provided by a bridged Alpine MRV-1507(look up the guts on this thing, it's sweet). 15hz tone first, then 20hz tone...followed by the epic "Bass, I Love You" and another one called "Bassotronics with Bass Mekanik" that can be found on the realmofexcursion.com downloads section.

Thanks to Bassotronics for providing great bass music, as always!

I'm hoping some time this weekend since work is a little slow.

I got three.

Nice! I like the sealed enclosure specs!

I think that was just JL being conservative back in the day...it seems like they like 3-4ft^3 much better, if you're looking for good low-end extension.

When did you buy those? I've been looking for a 18w6 for awhile. Very nice woofers.

There isn't a doubt in my mind that you can design the best enclosure for it.

The enclosure you designed for my 13w6 sounds great

Credence Speakers, who was the OEM company for JL and many other back in the day, had a sale on some newly reconed woofers using original soft parts. They had them for $100 each, and they sold out quick. They supposedly came back on their website today, at $200, but was then pulled off a few hours later.

Trying to find one NIB is probably going to be impossible.

I'm happy that I hopped on it when I did, before the price goes up once they come back in stock.

I wish I could have grabbed more just to have them. I really wanted five in case I wanted to do a sealed wall in my truck.

Have you done any modeling to see what they look like in other enclosures yet? I know they always recommended them only for sealed, but a couple of us tried some stuff on WinISD and some ported and 4th-order bandpass look promising...

3-4ft^3 sealed appears to be the way to go. It also models pretty well in larger low tuned boxes since Qts and Fs is fairly low along with Vas being pretty high, but I want to use all three so I'll probably just stick to sealed at the moment.
