yea its called the surround me thinks

ive noticed that the more movment u can get on the cone the more bass u seem to get lol. Bit like with my sub its only 1 x 4 icnh spakers but it moves the same amount of air as 2 due to the dual chamber. Its all about moving air i think

i had my sub playing just a consstand 60hz and i had one of those jamtart cases flooting on the reflex tubes pirrty funny actually. kept me entertained for like 30 secss till the song stops then replayed and the thing went flyin off :P

yup the ring round the edge is the surround my XXX18 can move 100mm peak to peak

that sub is single 4 ohms so you want your amp to put out its most at 4ohms
