DylanBunch Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I know this might be one, but im not intending this as a vs. thread. I am just asking the pros and cons of 2 15" or 1 18" . if you think this is a vs thread dont freak out it wasnt intendedto be..

HunterJohnson Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 2 15's more cone area 1 18 is a beast! it will depend on how much room you have in your car, what you can fit and what sound you are trying to achieve. Personally I don't like the sound of woofers over 12" they just sound the best to me.

DylanBunch Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 well ive got a grand cherokee so space isnt too big of a problem.

Ville Audio j Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) ok first of all cone area has nothing to do with how low a sub will go or how good the sq is. the only factor that plays in it is that more cone area (with same or similar xmax) is louder so more cone area may sound like it hits lows better but ud need a big difference in cone area to notice it. that all depends specifically upon the woofers in question and their motors suspension and box which will be the biggest variable as it almost always is. 2 15s will not be much louder than a single 15 of same xmax in correct boxes. not to the ear. to a meter tho yes. id go with 1 18. people gawk at them most people havnt ever seen one or heard one in a car. pick the right woofer and itll do all you need and should be cheaper than 2 15s Edited August 17, 2012 by Ville Audio j Quote alpine cda117 4 kicker kx1200.1s 2 dc level 5 12s mcintosh mc431 mcintosh meq450 / meq459 mcintosh mc420 midbass mcintosh mc221 tweets mcintosh mc223 full range. my mids and highs are worth more than your car.
