Can I place my XPA-5 on top of my CH.18?

Its 66 pounds, will the sub hold it?


I secured the wooden feet pretty tightly. On top of the sub means it gets plenty of air flow.

The subs are meant to be stacked if needed. I think that it will be fine.

Like Tesser said, there are guys such as Lil Gator who only use these subs as part of a stack. So if they can hold their 75lb brethren with no problem, holding up your amp will not be an issue at all.

Yeah, the bottom two in my stack are holding the weight of the top two, two Dayton amps and two WAF-1s.

Did you see the picture of the SS-18.1 cabinet that fell 15 feet onto concrete? I'd say the weight won't be a problem. :applause:

Consider that from 15 feet the cabinet is traveling at 17 mph when it hits the ground. If we guess that the unfinished cabinet has a mass of 15 kg (33 lbs, this is probably an underestimate) and came to a halt in a distance of 0.02 meters (estimated from damage on corner), it absorbed over 440 joules of energy, which if my envelope-back calculations are correct, is about the same as if it were hit by an average major league hitter, directly with a 33 oz bat at over 66 mph bat speed.

(I'm sure there's plenty wrong with this comparison, but it's fun to consider.)

Dr. jitsu is getting plenty of answers to his query about compressive and shear forces. :whoopie:

While the effort at physics is appreciated ... would you not just LOVE to see Florida Pool Boy Drop his Outlaw sub from 15 feet onto concrete?

:biglaugh:

Jeez, I sure hope that's not one of the cabinets you'll be shipping to me next week! :eek:

;) :D

You DID say you wanted a special cabinet. Now you want GOOD, too? Sheesh. :biglaugh:

I just wanted a nice pair of cabinets for my SS-18.T Duo. If you're going to send me one like that, could you at least drop the other one so that I get a matching set? :D

Antigravity stock sell for 50% off. I'm game.:D

This could turn into the Audio version of the Jackass movies. :partay:

I fought newton's law but.....................the law won.:biglaugh:

Cool with me...as long as I don't end up covered in feces. :eek:

[Dr_jitsu]

Thanks guys....however I realized one other factor: While the sub can handle the weight no prob, the amp/electronics will probably not handle the vibrations from the sub.

So, I am moving both my Emo and my CHT/Parts express amp into my TV stand.
