Sub size recomedations?

[dwright27]

If you can get 4 15s its 700+ square inches.

i sai 4 12...more cone area..

Oh really?

OP, how much space do u have? 2 18s will take up around 2x the space of 4 12s in a properly designed enclosure.

Not exactly. You can do 2.5 cubes per 12. I'd do 6.5 cubes Per 18, so 10 cubes - 13 cubes.

you mention size of the woofer may I ask what brand your thinking of for you sub selection?

This is about the space im working with exept no tire and looks alot cleaner and black no idea mesurments for it

I would like to go with FI but im open to sugestions as well possible jl for the 12" if id do them

actually 2 18's is more cone area than 4 12's.

the math:

4(3.14*6²) = 452.16 in²

2(3.14*9²) = 508.68 in²

now in theory it would seem like the 12's would be more tight and accurate than the other two due to a lighter and smaller cone, but Meade would beg to differ, as would most anyone else with 18's.

the most important factor is the install,and more specifically, the box. if you have the room to build a box that will comfortably house the 18's within the manufacturer's specs, then go for it. since the 18's have the most cone area, then they will probably be the loudest in the right box.

Alright looks like 18" is my best bet, what sub manufacturer and series would you guys recommend, also because the cones are heavier will they be able to hold that complex basslines in dubstep?

Imo 2.5 cubes for ported is pretty big for most of the underground subs, unless if theyre being underpowered...but thats beside the point.

Maybe I was off a little when i said "around 2x," but ill explain my reasoning. I bigger box needs a longer port to achieve the same tuning as a smaller box. Also, a bigger box would require more bracing than a smaller one in order to hold the same weight without flex (theoretically at least)

Thats means that the box for 2 18s would need to have a bigger NET volume while adding more displacements (port and bracing). This would result in much more (for the most part) GROSS volume.

For the rockford 1500? My first choice would be an Ascendant Audio Chaos. I believe you could custom order 18" Level 3s from DC too. Hit up dwright or CJ18 for the DC

2 fi ssd 18's would be a decent match for that amp. to be safe i'd go with the fi Q's since rockford amps are underrated.

and as far as the cones go they'd be able to handle dubstep just fine. really the weight difference between the cones is pretty insignificant. woofer cones are made to be lightweight. now if you started getting into the 20"+ range, then there might be a difference, but you shouldn't have to worry about that.

now since your shit got broken into last time, save up some money and put a nice security system in there too
