 My RE XXX 18...What to do with it? Suggestions?
As some of you may have seen in my other thread. I have one of these mammoth 18's that somehow survived the beating that UPS gave it. It's time for me to put it to use and I need help deciding what to do. It will be used in a 4000+ cu ft room that has a stairwell and 2 doorways to other rooms. It will be used for about 50/50 HT/music. I will be powering it with 1 of my CE4000's and I'll be using a DCX2496 and/or a Rane PE-17 to tweak it. I'll be comissioning a local woodworking shop to build the enclosure for me, once I decide what I want to do. Here are the TSP's
Electrical Q Value -Qes: 0.68
Mechanical Q Value -Qms: 2.82
Total Speaker Q Value -Qts: 0.55
Free Air Resonance -Fs: 15.60 Hz

I've got a few ideas about what I want to go with, but wanted to see what everybody else would do. What would you do with this driver if you had it?
