1N5817 sub?

So, I'm working on a Faultline build right now, with the intention of running it at 18v. So, I'm also building a Roadrage to accomplish this. My question is, for running it at 18v, will 1N4001s and/or 1N914s still be good alternatives to the 1N5817 listed in the project doc for the roadrage? Or perhaps even 1N5818s? Any one of those 3 will be easier for me to get my hands on than the 1N5817. Thanks!

Any of the three you mentioned are fine. I uses 1N5818 all the time. But, the other two work as well.

[insomniac2295]

Is there any "best" one for this application, or are the differences pretty negligible?

[madbean]

The 1N5818 should have the lowest voltage drop.

Thanks Brian!
