Noted! And the total 4" should include this 3/4" or so front baffle thickness I suppose, so the extension will only be about 2" or a little less

True, luckily they did cancel it and refund, and a user here may be able to help me out with a good quality 2240 or 2241

Welp, I should've asked yourall's advice before pulling the trigger :sorry: at least he did accept an offer much lower than the listed price.. I've messaged to ask if I can cancel the order, hopefully that works out. Currently I only have a 130 watt/side @ 4ohm (non-bridgeable) Peavey PV 260 amp...

It's this one, hopefully I didn't get something with a bad recone job.. JBL 2241GPL 18" Sub Speaker - 4 ohm Low Frequency Transducer Pro Series | eBay

The 2241 is bought and I'll get to work finding a piece of pipe! Will report back soon, appreciate all the advice

There's one 6" diameter port in the lower right side now, and it extends about 1 3/8" back into the cab. Sounds like i may extend that one port to be about 4" long, and will put some 2" fiberglass insulation on the back and sides, then put a JBL 2241 i found on ebay in there (haven't bought...

Appreciate the input! Does that mean I'd be best off adding a 4" port on the lower left in addition to the 6" port already there on the lower right, then adding a cardboard or PVC tube to each of those with total length of 4"-6" each?

Ok great, so roughly 4" total length of cardboard or pvc pipe extending into the cab, measured from the inside wall? The existing piece goes about 1 3/8" in, so I guess just another 2.5" or so. Should anything else happen in there as far as insulation, dividers etc?

Thank you x1000. What do you mean by "lengthen the duct"? As in a pipe would go into the box from the 6" port? Also do you know the name of the cab size application? I couldn't find it from searching but I know I've seen it on old posts before

I want to push back a bit on everyone saying "wrong tool, get a true sub." My original question and one i would like a direct answer to is: could I improve the low end response of this cab with a different woofer and/or with internal insulation/dividers/different size port? If so would an...

I believe so, though maybe this is an early 90s version? Really not sure

Sure just let me know, I'm about 4 hours east of Nashville near Johnson City but could possibly meet if you really want this thing

Sadly I'm across the country in Tennessee, wish I was in PNW though! Most likely ridiculously expensive to ship this across the country.. I'm thinking about selling the speaker alone for that reason, no idea what to do with the empty cab though

I recently picked up an 80s/90s Peavey 118D 18" bass cab with model 1801 Black Widow speaker (I think it's sn 427731 fwiw) for $80, and I'm wondering if it's possible to get a much stronger reproduction of very low end than with the stock speaker and setup. I'm a noob when it comes to cab design...
