[QUOTE="Peter Morris, post: 106289, member: 652"] Re: What would you do? [FONT=arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]Hi Evan, [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Been there, done that …. I end up with 12 or 16 single 18s before I bit the bullet and changed over to double 18s. Now the only single 18s I have are powered RCFs. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]If you want to grow your business in a direction that allows you to do more national acts I would suggest you need some high powered quality double 18s. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]While I’m sure you will be better off with name brand subs that match your tops I don’t see a huge problem building your own (as I think you have done with your single 18s) provided you get it right.
