JWBryant Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 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 Basshead-in-Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Jessica Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Didn't all this confusion start in the 90's when people would just throw a pair of pyramind gold 15's in a crappy box powered by a pyramid gold amp and run their L.P. at 100hz and wonder why it sounded like crap compared to their buddies JL audio 10's that had a 80hz l.p. and a good box and amp? I'm just suggesting that it's possible that speaker design has improved and that when you compare the moving mass of an 18 to that of an identical 10, the difference in weight is so minimal coupled with the crazy ass motor structures today that it just might be that the difference in quality cannot be perceived by human ears? I mean if you basically have what amounts to Usian Bolt on steroids in a adrenalin fuelled rage moving the speaker cone i doubt a few grams of weight are going to make any difference.

SeanKingsley Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm in Australia and I don't see anyone using 18's at all. Nd now I'm starting to look for some I'm being told that there too big and blow up ect. That's why I'm on here. U guys seem to know what ya on about. So now to learn and start getting bits together.

HHR Ed Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The main reason that "Audiophiles" And SQ dudes do not use 18s very often is simply because they do not need to. In most cars it is difficult to design a proper SQ enclosure for an 18 so why take up all your room when you can get the same effect from a smaller woofer in the proper enclosure. If anything, people have been trying to get 10s and 12s to sound like 18s for over 20 years.
