When does more motor strength outweigh Cone area?


Recommended Posts

id say 2 ddz 12's > 1 dd95 18

or 2 fi n3 12's > 1 n2 18" (n3 to n2 as alot more motor lol)

or something like that lol

EDIT: so if we take say 2 low end 12's rated at say 500rms each, put 1k to them, vs a single 18 on 1k and put 1k to it, the 12's haveing say 20% more motor frouce as apposed to the 18 20% more cone area (am i doing math right? LOL fuck this shit..)

who is louder lol

Those are a couple of the tests ive done in this truck.

If you dig up my termlab subwoofer database you can see them all.

Tons of data to make your own conclusion.

Motor force vs Cone area, shitload of variables, but 1 thing that matters alot is power.

fully powered 18 cone area > motor force half power 12s.

also ideal box etc..... so whats the power and subs !?

DD 9500s

2k to start, eventually 4k

Sensitivity for the DD 9500 G 12´s is 89dB/1 watt, the 18´s is 92dB/1 watt, that´s 3 dB close.

If you have a look at the Sundown NS v2 series, there is the 12 85,15dB/1 watt the 18 89,86 dB/1 watt that´s a diffrence of 4,71 dB

The AA Mayhem´s have @ the 12´s 90,4 dB/1 watt the 18´s 94,8 dB/1 watt, diffrence 4,4 dB

The FI BTL N2 the 12´s 89,4 dB/1 watt the 18´s is 93,8 dB/1 watt, 4,4 dB diffrence as well.

It could be possible to get the 2 DD 12´s louder than the 18 on the same amppower, for a TL messurement not for the ear.

It´s up to you and your wallet 2 DD 12´s maby in the next time one more amp.

I think safe the money for a proper amp and electrical and get a 18 AA Mayhem.

magnet weight doesnt equate to a linear motor strength increase as you are suggesting.

Thank you.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.
