snafu Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Most shops are just a bunch of fucking clowns. There are a few that really know there stuff though. And if you have a car, I would not put an 18 in a trunk, I would do a pair of 10s or 12s. I have (2) 18" Punch HX2 woofers in the trunk of my 2003 Mustang GT . . .

r0llinlacs Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Dont 18" subs generally get lower than a 10 or 12 due to a lower resonace or something, and beacuase the 10s and 12s would "peak" at higher frquencies they would be tighter and more accurate and the the 18 would sound worse. Is that maybe what theyre talking about worse quality from the 18? Maybe? Just a thought I can definitely say it is easier to hit lower frequencies easier with an 18" than a 10". But the reason is because of the huge increase in cone area. Not because of the reasonance. The fs of a sub dosnt mean much once it's in a box. LOL the huge increase in cone area is why the resonant frequency is lower... 18"s get lower because their resonant frequency is lower. Lower is slower. IE: 18's are naturally SLOWER than lesser sized subs. The cone and motor size/weight/mass are what make the resonant frequency what it is. It is the objects natural resonance, the frequency at which it moves the easiest. Obviously, bigger things move slower than smaller things. Everything physical in the world has a resonant frequency. Trying to say an 18" can move just as fast as a smaller sub is DEFYING PHYSICS. Can a semi stop on the same dime as a Geo Metro? Didn't think so... An 18" cone can be lighter than a 10" cone. It doesn't matter because the 18" cone is pushing at least twice as much air than a 10. This causes physical resistance that the voice coil and physical suspension of the sub has to fight. An 18" cone, no matter how light, will have to work twice as hard as a 10" to move a proportional amount of air. The extra air resistance from the extra cone area causes a slow down in transient response. The cone can not be where it's absolutely supposed to be, fast enough.

TeamHT Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 SIGH. Your sad attempt at science is amusing yet wrong. You seem to have confused what you think applies to separate subject.

LoudBimmer Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 on the same power, 10" would move faster then 18" subwoofer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 uhhh no. A frequency is a frequency, if woofer A can play 50 hz and woofer B can play 50 hz, then they will both move 50 times per second regardless of size. Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.
