Emmet Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Always wondered this too, say you had 2 12" DC level 3s on 1.2k,But then against a 15" level 4 xl on 1.5kWhich would be louder? Or would too many variables like the box etc come into it?I was actually talking to Jeff about this the other day regarding my next setup. I was wanting to do 2 level 3 15's and upgrade to xl's in the future, but he said it would be a better idea to just do 1 xl 15 for now and buy the other xl later on. He said that having the 1 xl 15 would be just as loud if not louder than the 2 level 3's (this was going to be on an aq2200, 1100 rms on each level 3, 2200 on an xl.) Really? Guess that shows it kinda gives an idea of the gap between the level 3`s and level 4 xls too. Cone is kingummm for comps POWER is kingthats how you get 2 18's over a 160 vs 16 12's doing a 157 I have seen this for sure, theres a video on youtube of a team doing a 172.3 i think it was on a single 18" dc xl spl on 35000 watts, only reason they couldnt go higher was because the cone folded.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

Nightshade Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 In case I missed it what kind of vehicle is this going into? To me that is the most important question to ask before deciding what size sub and how many to go with. That is unless you plan to just wall it, then pretty much everything is game. For example, there are several accounted applications where a pair of 12's have been louder in a small hatchback vehicle versus a pair of 15's. Even with both size subs in the proper airspace the actual area around the enclosure plays a big part in how they will act in vehicle.
