What type of wall to do in the SSA Basstro Van

[Infinite913 381]

Howdy, I am going to be walling the astro soon and wanted to get some ideas of what type of walls there are and whats the benefits to them.I am walling it with 8 18" icons I havent set the amp in stone yet but I am contemplating between a DC 12k or a Soundigital 16k. once again the amp is up for debate. There will be a multiple alternator setup with battery bank to supply the amp or amps that are chosen. but with all that out of the way!

Dimensions I have to go with are 48" tall 51" wide and up to 97" deep but I really dont need that deep lol! we still need to leave room for amps and batteries!

I was throwing around the idea of a clamshell or maybe a 4th order just not set on anything yet!

This will be a daily driver but I would still love to meter it at comps and put up some strong numbers!

If I left out any information that is needed please feel free to shun me and I will respond with information needed

It seems 4th order walls are fairly popular and with that much cone area and power, you have a recipe for disaster

Daily driver.. You crazy.

I don't think 8 18s are gonna fit too many ways. Your options are pretty limited.

I say clamshell. Nothing like a tuned low clamshell that can make people puke.

I say a vertical clam shell get my vote.

Just like this one. Great looking wall IMO.

I like clams.

[stevemead08 752]

the non bearded variety I hope.

I vote front loaded horn ! got a crazy idea on paper (calculated) ,could adapt to 18's,

it be bonkers

[fearlessgangsta 12]

Tunnels are cool to, but clam gets my vote

[Infinite913 381]

ok I think I am going with the vertical clam I have been pretty set on a clam and Im thinking the vertical will just be NUTTY! and then I can still get my lean on in the driver seat so im not making love to the steering wheel every where I go. Thanks for the input guys!

Win willl you begin?

[Godsmack 361]

The vertical clam does look pretty BA.

Besides the obvious, what difference does it make?

Like advantage of one over another. I'm not up on my walls.

i always like a horizontal clam shell personally but that team rival vertical one looks nasty!!! could only imagine one like that with 8 18s
