About the DIY TD18’s in 8 cu ft. Boxes

The Acoustic Elegance DIY TD18’s utilize the TD18H+ high efficiency bass woofers, which feature a Lambda Motor with Full Copper Faraday Sleeve (FCFS) for extremely low and linear inductance. These woofers have a high power handling capacity of 1000W and an efficiency of 98dB at 1 watt/1 meter. They offer a best-in-class Xmax of 14mm and 50mm peak-to-peak suspension travel, providing wide bandwidth for detailed midbass reproduction. The drivers are designed for live sound, high efficiency theater, and critical monitoring applications, and are also suitable for automotive sound quality (SQ) and sound quality loudness (SQL) uses. The recommended enclosure volume for these drivers varies depending on the tuning: 2-3 cubic feet vented for midbass, 6-12 cubic feet vented for extended bass, and 3-10 cubic feet sealed. The DIY TD18’s in 8 cubic feet boxes represent a practical enclosure size that balances performance and space, often tuned around 25-32 Hz for optimal bass response. Users have reported excellent results with 9.5 cubic feet tuned to 25 Hz, sometimes using DSP-based EQ to enhance the lowest frequencies. The system is known for tremendous bass output and clarity, capable of moving significant air and delivering a powerful listening experience.
