18″ Open Baffle Woofer Single
This is a medium Qts driver that will handle a little loading in case you want to slot load. It is of high sensitivity around 97dbs w/m. This price for a single driver.
“Terry’s Compact Baffle” plans uses this woofer in its design. This baffle has a size of 34″ tall and 21″ wide, with an in-room frequency response of less than 30hz to over 18k Hz, REAL WORLD. This design also incorporates slot loading for both the 15″ and the 18″ drivers which act as acoustical low-pass filters allowing for smaller chokes in the crossover.

Sorry I forgot Vas, but these are for open baffles anyway, so it is a moot point. These are measured specifications from a few drivers and can vary as much as 10% in any area. Usually, if one measurement is a little different others will be as well.
Also, I am consistently getting Fs in the mid-20hz range with “slot-loading”, with a slight increase in sensitivity. The typical response with slot loading in an open baffle is -3 dbs around 30hz or lower.
