tonedeaf Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 So I just Started my build and had decided to use 1 15 in the trunk firing forward and sealed off from the rear. My main reasoning was that you don't normally see 15s in the trunk, and I was going to use the that 15 and more for when I rebuild bigger. Now I'm considering 2 12s and just reconing them later to 15s, since 2 12s in theory should be louder, while also using less airspace. I'm kind of torn on the matter and was hoping for your guys help. Which has more of on awe factor to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Neither seem really awe inspiring to me, 4 8s or 10s would be more to me... Quote Bassless once again.

Supercharged DCs Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 If anything, they would use more. 2 motors to account for displacement as opposed to 1, and they would both use 4cubes net after displacements Quote Bassless once again.

tonedeaf Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) The 12s I've looked at were rated at 1.5 cubes after displacement, the 15 about 3.5 after. So going by DCs for example, I'd save almost a quarter foot. Edit: more like .3 cubes actually.

tonedeaf Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Neither seem really awe inspiring to me, 4 8s or 10s would be more to me... I can understand, but id like to be able to use whatever subs I get for my wall/4th order build later on. Even if I have to redone the 12s, I could still pickup like 2 lvl 5 12s and redone, vs getting a bunch of smaller 8s and having to sell them first.

6berry Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 out of your choices i would go with 2 -12's but i would personally go with supercharged dc's idea of 4 or more 8's or 10's. you could always get 4 10's and then make your wall a ridiculous amount of 10's Quote 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byers319 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) sealing off you will probably peak higher 2 12"s will have 50ish more square inches of cone area Edited June 18, 2011 by byers319 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
