Brandonrcm Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 woofers that are like 2" from the trunk lid/rear deck are pointless to me. either fire forward, or fire rearward. and if you're into car audio, why are you concerned about weight? I don't want to have my car having over 200lb of weight in the back when I care about the performance of my car also. (1979 camaro z28 with a 454 (7.4 liters) Might as well take out all the interior as well besides driver seat if you care about weight that much.

Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 if you want to save weight, get a woofer that has a neo motor like the N series by Fi. they'll save you a good like 40lb or so over the woofers with a traditional ferrite motor edit: but hey, with more weight in the back you'll have less wheel spin How is it such a difference? neo magnets are MUCH MUCH stronger than ferrite magnets. i dont know why, but i know that you can use a much smaller neo magnet to get the same amount of strength as a larger ferrite magnet. the only downside to neo magnets is that they cost way more and if you subject them to a LOT of heat (think a few hundred degrees), the strength goes down.

StephenAudios Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just get twin sundown 12s ( Sa-12s). They don't weight a ton, and they hit very hard. You wont have to make a bigger box either, 2 12s take less space. you care about your car's performance, but you want to run an 18? okay, i dont get it. performance + sound = AMAZING Nuf said.

Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Get 2 12s. It has more cone area then 1 18, so it will be louder (using same wattage). I'm thinking about either 2 10s or 2 12s (fi bl's) How notifiable would the difference be between 2 10s and 2 12s? Two 10" = 157.08 Two 12" = 226.19 One 18" = 254.47 ahem...2 12's does not have more cone area than 1 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenAudios Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Technically yes It is Slightly smaller yes, but the Xmax is they key Say a 18 had 20mm xmax, but 2 12s had a xmax of 20mm each. With similar cone areas, the 2 12s win because more air is moving, thus being louder. Get 2 12s. It has more cone area then 1 18, so it will be louder (using same wattage). I'm thinking about either 2 10s or 2 12s (fi bl's) How notifiable would the difference be between 2 10s and 2 12s?

Vooloco Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Okay how much of a difference would it be between a 15" N215 and 2 12 BL's? How much louder is the 12s? Noticeably? Because the 15 N215 has the neo magnet so it is a lot lighter then the 2 12s with the traditional BL magnets. And I could probably angle the sub so it can aim at the back seats instead of to the roof because it is smaller then the 18 and mounting depth is over an inch less.
