REaudioBuff Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Im wondering if this would be the best thing to do. I have a 15'' xl and im about to send it in for recone.. I am thinking that i could have it swapped to a 10'' and maybe get a 2nd one I have an AA 500.1 to play with so I have plenty of power. Deal is I want to tune the box to 30hz on the dot for the pair. I'm thinking that 2 10's would need about as much space as 1 15'' right?? Would they still be able to get down on the lows as well or better than the 15''?? I have never owned anything smaller than a 12'' so it'd be something new for me. Let me hear so opinions here. Car is a scion tc so space is limited...

REaudioBuff Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 addictive audio its a damn sick amp! Best one i've ever owned for sure. But why do you say stick with the 15?? The 10s will handle the full power of the amp. As is i have to really baby it and try to tune it in to not clip and not go over about 3k rms lol. thats not easy ;/ Quote 1 Crossfire XS v2 15" 2 Deka group31a's 1 XS Power D3400 (under hood) 1 Addictive Audio 500.1 1 Rockford 3sixty.2 4 Crescendo pwx 6.5s 2 Pyle Pro Super tweets 1 Crescendo 1000c4 Kenwood excelon x494 Head unit Big Three upgrade All 0 gauge of course 1 4.56c^ft box @28hz (New Best official db score= 151.2 @ 36hz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackedout Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Pi R^2; pi ~ 3 15" cone area: 3 x 7.5^2 ~ 169 Sq inches 2 10s: (2) 25 x 3 ~ 150 Sq inches 19/ 150 ~13% Decrease in Cone area. Would I invest the extra money in a decrease in cone area just to not have to build another box? No. I'd either stay with the 15 (Upgraded to handle a little more power) , go to to 2 12s, or an 18 and rebuild the box. I've seen XLs take 3000 Clamped, which is probably realistic after box rise on a 5000 Watt amp. Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I would do a pair of 12s. You will be at the same airspace here. 2 10s you would need 2ft after displacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new guy Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 id go with the 12s. but if you wanna do 10s then yes they will be able to get just as low as the 15 and will be louder, yes you have 13% less cone area but twice the motor force and you can run almost twice the power. cone area isnt everything...

REaudioBuff Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Well I think what ill end up doing now that i got to thinking on the 12s is get them and move the batteries that i have sitting on each side of my box now to a different spot. Ill build something for them like in front of the box between amps lol. I should have even more space then and it will look better i think. So i believe i will want the very strongest options and 5med 1 stiff spider pack on each sub may have to wait for the new carbon caps tho. Get like blue and green on em and that'd look sick!!!
