Oh lordy so no more wall chino? You going to be loud now? lol jk man. Loved the last setup you had. Can't wait to see what the new one is going to be. I vote 8 12's also. Like everyone is saying, the wow factor will be there. But the cheaper way would be to find another 18. But if you do go the 12's route, how much you selling an 18 for? ;)

formerly known as Blue86f150

its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies.

Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive

Not sure if I'll be selling the 18" any time soon but we will see, besides the wow factor it should give me descent TL numbers, I'm not sure if I'm going to do tube ports or slot port

Well... 8 12s would need a little less air space, by about 2 cubes or so, and have more cone area. However it could be cheaper to get 3 BTLs than 8 Chaos, but I'm not sure as I don't know AA pricing. As far as motor force to cone area, it probably comes out pretty close.

Here's one thing to consider: If you order the three BTLs with D1.4 ohm coils you can wire the subs to .93 ohms, and to 2.1 ohms, meaning that you can safely use 1 amp wired to about 1 ohm, or strap two amps at 2 ohms without having to modify anything except for wiring. That's something you can't do with the 8 12s.

I'm still undecided on the box it's either subs up port up, clamshell, or 4th order. What do you guys think?

why isn't this a poll?

Very good question.. lol

But yeah I think that the 8 12" would work wonders.. But if you were to get 4 18" instead of 3 then I'd say go with the 18" subs.
