[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 4516, member: 445"] I'm getting ready to purchase new subs and wanted to get your real world opinion on an idea. The sub cabinets that were being used with these mid-hi boxes were Apogee AE12 Double 18's. They were getting about 1800 watts parallel in the box, but as you know- they are heavy for one person to move around. The height is great because of the ground stack, but that's about the best factor. What I am considering doing is replacing the double 18 boxes with single 18 boxes (OAP LF118) with an updated driver and amp that make put them in the 3000w range (vs. the double 18 1800w box). Removing the ground stack height from the equation, do you think it's a good move? I've consulted the rep for the drivers and he thinks that the driver is a good fit for the VAS of the existing closure, but I'm just curios if anyone has made this move. The idea would be that the single boxes are easier to move and if on the off chance I blew a driver I wouldn't end up with a passive radiator in a double 18 cabinet. I'm certain there are some advantages through coupling... [/QUOTE]
