Coming soon. FW18.0

Looks really nice. Is the dust cap still made of paper?

Do you expect the coating and different dust cap(?) to to alter the Fs and Mms much? It could actually help out in the deeper end if it did.

will it be possible for ilkka (or you) to test one of these with the same graphs as the ilkka tests? (like THD, max output, power compression, group delay)

Carlos says the coating and, aluminium dust cap dosnt do much to affect the parameters, but if anything it would add a few grams which would help out the low end a tiny bit.

We I trying to arrange a test as soon as possible here in Finland.

I'm crossing my fingers for that to happen. Are funds the holdup?

If only Finland wasn't so far away....

No doubt! I'd ship Illka my currently unused XXX (just got it back from reconing

)to test if he were in North America.

Nathan,
Can you outline the changes that you wanted made to the Acoupower and why? It does look a bit better, but hopefully it's not all cosmetic?

We are thinking of doing a preorder, if there is enough interest, for the FW18.1 preorder price would be $1400+shipping(reg ~$1600), with a crown XTI4000 preorder price would be $2400ea+shipping. in textured black. Other finishes are avialable on request.Contact us through our website.

Here is a picture of the new look. Not the best picture but thats all we have right now.

Now that's some slick looking driver.

**Owen Bartley** · **08-01-08, 09:11 AM**

Nathan, that's a sweet looking little sub. I assume that's the sealed enclosure, do you have any pics of the ported one?

**Warpdrv** · **11-20-08, 03:45 PM**

Nathan that is really a beautiful sub, do you use sonotube for the rounded back. I would love to try to build something like that in the future... Crazy cool... and a fantastic driver.

I wonder when Carlos is going to come back to the scene... he never answered my emails about product...

**funky_waves** · **11-22-08, 10:24 AM**

We laminate layers of thin plywood to the braceing skeleton for enclosures that need to be very solid like the FW18.0

**funky_waves** · **09-27-09, 08:46 AM**

The FW18.0 has been on hold due to unavialable parts however it looks like we will have an alternative avialable very soon. Stay tuned.
