YES, the Eminence Omega 18 is a good woofer for the price. It is a cost effective solution to things, and IMHO, UNLESS your buying pristine USED goods from someone or somewhere you know well, NEW IN BOX is always MY best choice.

And, properly powered in a good cabinet, the Omega kicks hard and is durable, kind of hard to blow them if you don't seriously abuse them.

Not exactly economy, but if you order 4 or more, $399ea, and I ordered four to use in my J Horns. These are supposed to be great woofers, and are made here in the USA, and they make an entire range of products that look interesting.

I'd really like to see how these would perform

I've heard nothing but good comments about their other drivers

find a cinema series sr4719 dual sub box, which comes with 2241H's, and can handle 600 WPC into each sub. I have one upstairs, and the neighbors always commented if I cranked it.on. Right now the two 2240's I had in it are now in Scotty Fitlin's Coney Island business. However I attached a picture of the box; with 2240's. It came with 2241's, but the character I got it from used those in w-bins he was building.

Given that I have a 12 ft3 2245H, I thought I'd build a new front for it, and turn it into a single 2245H , slightly over 12ft3; and would just need to be port tuned. My other 2245H is good for 25Hz.
I go this sub enclosure for $200, so bargains can be had.

I attached a picture of it with 2 x 2240 and two of the amps I use, AB Systems 821's , which push 600 WPC continuous bridged into each speaker; and is very strong, running more than 600WPC per amp.

Oddly enough recently I couldn't sell one of these amps when I paced it on the forum (folks are choosy), but when friend heard it; he couldn't snap it up fast enough. I still have two more..

One thing I agree with mentioned by others, use 2245H's at home in your theater, use those 2241's from parts express to fill a box like this and push bass at a commercial venue; trust me; it wasnt designed for 2240's, but I was getting 35 to 40 HZ untuned, and at 600 WPC X 2 >> unbelievable bass levels. At the "your neighbor will call the Police " levels.... Scotty KNOWS, thats what he uses...

Plans are Great!
If you could use drawing for the dual 18"s and I also have some 15" if you plans for them too.
I'm a big JBL fan and have a few drivers with no cabs.

Your help would be very cool,

Thanks!

Here is what Lisa and i built for our dance floors. It is the SR4719 clone. Double 2241 18's in a 20 cubic foot box. I have four of these cabs in the larger ballroom/dancefloor and two of these in the smaller dancefloor.

They even sound good with 2240's in them.
I have the plans and port lengths available if needed.

I think its just an oversized 15" scoop. Itls like 5 feet high. BTW I am running a MacroTech 3600 on 2 2x18 2241 loded subs and hope its enough power?? Thanks Mark

You got my interest, as well as many others' I think...
Please, please, please. Show us pictures of your 18" scoops. Indeed not made by JBL.

Is your twin 18' sub a TCB?

I couldn't agree more, $450 for a 5749 with 2x2242 is a GREAT deal!

Sorry took so long to reply. These were made by someone in the 80's. Loaded with E 155 JBL 18.

Reviving this thread, because of the subject of scoop with e155 drivers. Sure it's a bass guitar driver, but what's not too like when that driver has a high Bl (25N/A), very low Qts (0,20) and decent Vas (425). It requires a smaller back chamber than a 2240, and must be snappier too. Anyone else has fitted an e155 in a scoop?
