Guest Wood Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 ok... so are there any other 18's out there within price range of around 300 a sub, that are any good... just trying to get as many options as possible These would hurt your insides in the right box, a little more then your looking for in price but have heard nothing but good about IA. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/18%22-Death-Row-Series.html yea, they're looking to be around 860 with shipping... so a lil more than i have to spend right now, lol yeah wasnt sure after shipping and all. they have a 21" consider doing a single 21? You could try asking a DC rep for a price on some level 4 18s, might be out of your range though too. I think an AQ would do fine, as far as "hitting" the lows, this could have been a box design flaw among many other possibilities, i wouldnt limit your decision on this guys one walled experience, in my experience i have never heard a wall sound good period.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Honestly, if you can, go 4 15s over 2 18s... I have 2 18s and wishing i had went with 4 15s instead what 18's are you running? 2 level 5 18s.. but i want more cone area and 4 15s have more cone than 2 18s, and if you got the same 18s as you would 15s you would have more motor force with 4 15s of the same vs 2 18s of the same..

I have 2 18s and wishing i had went with 4 15s instead i would do this instead also if you have the CUBES available, but your gonna run into cost issues, going from buying two woofers to four. but more cone area FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team_DC-Derrick Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 seriously, cone area > all 4 15s have more cone area than 2 18s, and you will move more air with 4 15s vs 2 18s 2 18s = 508 sq inch of cone 4 15s = 706 sq inch of cone 200 more sq inch of cone is alot thats almost 1 whole 18" sub... Just sayin bro... you could get over 150 with either 4 15s or 2 18s, but 4 15s should move more air.. its mathematically correct Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Just gotta get subs to fit your budget, and anything in the 150 dollar range really wont take the wattage your wanting to throw at em. just stay easy on the volume and just wang on em for short demos ya know? subs will generally take a lot more then there RMS (if its a quality woofer) if its good clean power in the CORRECT enclosure, subs fail when they do one of two things Get hot and thermally fail, or unload and mechanically fail. in general terms. meant to post this also Edited March 22, 2011 by Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
