IH8PunkRok Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well... Matt said you won't be as loud... but I see where he is coming from... he means that I could be louder with 4 18's, but he did say something about them not being able to play the same frequency, which is not true, they are playing down to 8 hz, both the 18s and 15's, the tuning is just different... that is wrong. its not that they cant play the same frequencies. they shouldnt. its the same as a 3 inch mid playing down to 50 hz and having a 6.5" that does the same. think about it. what is the point? kinda defeats the purpose of a crossover. -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have a mixed setup that plays fine. It is in a duel chamber box with two 12's and two 15's and they are tuned at the same frequency. They are all duel 4ohm and the 12's and 15's are wire together series/parallel to get a 2ohm load on a Fosgate T40001bd. I was able to get 148.1db on 3200 clamped watts not to bad in my opinion. Every one that has heard it know how clean it sounds and the bass is nice and tight. It can be done but needs a little more thought put in to the box.

Matt, you are completely wrong and do not have enough experience in mixing subs to tell me I am wrong in this... I have done this alot with great results. When you heard Franky, did you hear any cancelation and would you not say it was loud for what it is? Both the 18s and 15s play the same frequencies, they are just tuned differently... I have the subsonics on all amps all the way down and the low passes to 80... Usually cross overs protect the speaker from playing frequencies it was not DESIGNED to play so the speaker can play to its full potential loud and clean... lets take your 6.5 and 3" setup, of course you shouldn't play 50hz through a 3", lets say the 3" has a response of 80hz and above... so you are telling me that your 6.5 only plays from 50hz to 80hz and the 3" is doing the rest???? Also, does that mean that your subs are only playing 40hz and below so they don't mix with the 6.5 playing to 50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techforce Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Unless you have an INCREDIBLE crossover system and $20,000 worth of mids and highs, differnt size mids are gonna have to share some of the same frequencies... Sure, in a perfect world every speaker will play its own frequency and you will have over 7,000 speakers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachfowler222 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 why wouldnt it be ok? honestly think about this you run 6.5s or 5.25s in the front and then 12 15s or 18s for subs right? all that is is speakers playing different hz they are good if they are in different chambers playing different hz I SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY...
