Tremendous value and craftsmanship! review by Amazing work ! on 2/28/2023The fit and finish of the kits are excellent you would need to try very hard to mess up the assembly of these. I have not fired mine up yet but the build went very smooth.

Phenomenal Experience! review by Coolwine on 9/8/2022
This is my first DIYSG kit and it did not disappoint! They arrived very quickly and were packaged phenomenally well. Upon first unboxing the two kits, I had a moment of regret and despair when I didn't see any instructions. But I put on my big boy pants and did what no man likes to do.... I asked for help. Erich responded quickly with a friendly response and great instructions. After I saw the instructions I banged my head on the table for how easy this was. I ended up getting both subs assembled quickly and they went together really well. I opted to use clamps in a few spots, but a lot of these pieces can be held together when drying with strong tape. They look great, working on the final finish! Can't thank Erich enough for the awesome products. Can't wait for some of the other speaker kits to be more regularly in stock again so I can continue to upgrade the rest of my setup and upset my wife.

Great quality as usual from DIY Sound Group review by Jean on 6/12/2022
Package was shipped promptly and packaged with Eric's usual thoroughness. The pieces went together flawlessly, even for a mechanically challenged person like myself. Performance is excellent. I had the RS18 woofer in a sealed enclosure, and this is quite the upgrade. With the woofer in the new enclosure, my the calibration utility on the HTR showed that the woofer was almost 6db more efficient. That is, audyssey tells you to set the woofer to 75db (which it was for prior enclosure), but it was now reading 81db. With this enclosure, I am getting usable output to at least 10hz, because I can see my projector screen gently undulating. Super performance, and very clean. Built like a tank.
Thanks! -
Can't beat these review by Builder Bee on 6/12/2022
I built 2 of these to use with Dayton HO 18 and I couldn't be happier. Using a Crown xls1002 on each sub and it's a great match. I also have 2 Svs pb 2000's that I paid about the same money for. I have to say you get much more bang for your buck with these 18's vs the pb 2000's, or probably any pre assembled powered sub in the price range. I plan to sell the pb 2000's and build 2 more of these 18's. I'd highly recommend.

Great Size and Sound review by Sean on 5/20/2022
The cube-18 is loaded with an SI HT-18v3. They sound fantastic together. Build quality is perfect; everything went together without any issues. I'm not shy at building my own enclosures at all, but wanted to try something else and I am glad I did! You just had to add paint and a wiring terminal and you're off to the races!
Speaker sounds great and no chuffing at the speaker port. I didn't add any filler, and it sounds just as it should. I can't thank Erich enough, great work! -
Fantastic all around review by Cube-18'er on 4/16/2022
First off, Erich is a very helpful guy, very responsive and will help in any way possible. Not that you'll need help because this is so easy to assemble. Start with the port and everything falls into place after that. I upgraded from his sealed Ultimax boxes, and an upgrade it is indeed. I was quite skeptical about what a small ported box like this could do, but it was for no reason. Now, don't get me wrong, the sealed boxes were outstanding as well, but you just can't get below 30 hz with them very well. If you are looking for a small home theater box, this is it! I could not be happier with how this little project turned out.
Just a couple things that I did that I would have found helpful had I never built one before. Sand. sand, and then sand. Then use a high end wood filler on the seams, then sand again. If you're the best ever at doing DIY boxes, you will still need to sand, not saying anything bad about how it is engineered, we just can't make it perfect. I then used a high cover primer, Kilz premium with multiple applications. Then flat black oil bases paint. Probably easier with duratex but I have never been a fan of how that looks.
Trust me when I say this, you will NOT need bass shakers if you have these, you will feel it. Thanks Erich!
