EG will be clubbin' to the odd grooves.
Some of the Eastern rhythms are very unique and impossible for me to count.

I was thinking JL Audio specs on the 18W6 was 1.75 cubes. No more and no less cubes I know you like to do your own thing but trust me on this. I've had two of them in my Talon and I currently have two in my home theater set-up. All were/are in 1.75 cubes. They do not need extra cubes to go lower in Hz, they will give you all the low bass you body can handle. The two subs in my Talon would hurt my jaw and vibrate my eye ***** to were the road signs would be blurry Every woman I gave a ride in the Talon had at least one orgasm Okay, the last one wasn't true , but it sounds good

Did ya ever consider doing the 18s in an isobarik configuation? That would be insane Then you would only need a .875 cube enclosure and the huge magnet of one sub would be seen
If you ever blow the sub, you might be able to con me into selling one of my four spare 18W6s to ya.
Best wishes on the install, I'm looking forward to seeing the car all done in December.

You'll be pleased with it, espically with older music that lacked bass in the orignal recording.

Here you go
Bass Maximization Technology
You may ask yourself, “Why would I need to restore bass?” The truth is that during the recording process, low frequency information can be “mixed” down or filtered out. It’s not that recording engineers are out to get you; in fact they are looking out for your best interests and are concerned that many speaker systems cannot handle “truly” low bass information.

The patented circuit inside The Epicenter is designed to reproduce the low frequency information by looking at the upper frequency ranges and detecting musical harmonics. These harmonics then allow The Epicenter to drop down a few octaves and reproduce the “missing” bass notes.
The bottom line is that The Epicenter technology gives you. deep, body shuddering, heart stopping bass
