taylorpro Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 obviously its not that badass if it broke. idc if you put 90 bajiggawatts to it. a well built box wont break. have a new box made for 2 15's. get 2 good 15's rated at 2-2500rms each. bam. You're missing the overall point that in this case 2 subs >>>>>> 1 sub. 1999 Ford ExplorerTeam Sundown Audio4th 2012 Db Drag WF Street Stock 150.8dbYoutube Channel!http://www.youtube.com/user/BoomyurblownOperation 156 No wall Build Log!http://www.stevemead...x/#entry2196123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 it's really simple. cut sub size and get two subs. bam. cheaper options. more reliable. likely would better in just about every way imaginable. no point in sending that much power to a single sub. it really starts to get pointless If you have space for one 18, you likely have space for 2 15's. Get 2 15's. more cone, more coil, more motor force, cheaper more than likely, and more awesomer. Not necessarily cheap, 2 subs that will handle 3k+ each will cost more than 1 sub that will handle 6k. two quality subs that are rated at ~2k (being realistic about the power you're making here....) will more than likely be similar if not cheaper than one big ass 4" coil sub. ESPECIALLY DD.lol. Other than that though, I really don't see how my point could be argued. If the OP has the space, 2 15s is a better option Not going to argue that point, I would definitely recommend 2 coils to handle 6k over just 1 coil. Prices are where I can argue. Now I am only speaking in terms of DC, because that is what I know. 3kw split between 2 3" coils can definitely be done, but you are pushing the DAILY limits of that coil------Would be talking about XLs in this case. 6kw on 1 4" coil can definitely be done, but once again you are at the top end of the DAILY ability of that coil----Would be talking about 1 Level 6 in this case Now for option 3. 6kw split between 2 3.5" coils, right in the happy zone for that coil with room to add a little more if you want but will have no issues beating the hell out of it all day everyday----- This would be the new m2 Level 5s I cannot list prices on the open forum, but 2 XL 15s are more expensive than 1 Level 6 18. and 2 LEvel 5 15s are much more expensive that 1 Level 6 18. All depends what you really want to do and how much you want to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO if you buy a sub thats RATED at 2-2500, then it will take a little more than that (AKA One of the rockford amps). get two of those subs, and wallla, magiccc 1999 Ford ExplorerTeam Sundown Audio4th 2012 Db Drag WF Street Stock 150.8dbYoutube Channel!http://www.youtube.com/user/BoomyurblownOperation 156 No wall Build Log!http://www.stevemead...x/#entry2196123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two 18" subs now, and will be buying two 18" subs to replace them. That is all.

He asked a question based on what he has and what he is planning to do. Why are you trying to tell him what he should do? Maybe just give advice/recommendations based on what he is wanting to do instead of telling him what you think he should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylorpro Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 woahhhhhhh with the butthurt. i understood the OP wrong. Thought you were going to ONE 18 sub. hence suggestions.

CortezDTV Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I think a ton of subs could handle the power I think it would more so depend on how much you play your system..... I have fi n2s 15s and im gonna run a vlf 750.1 to each.... im looking to clamp 5k+ to each sub Ran a dc lvl 5 m1 with a sd 8k and dc 5k.... I ran a fi n2 18 with 5k and it took it.... I wish I had the box longer I would have loved to play around with it more the n2 loved the power I also would bet a fi sp4 could take the power prolly the subs im gonna switch to or new aa team sub Fi n2 maybe... depends on how much ur actually clamping and clean matters if ur gonna use a single 3" coil Aa mayhems can take the power Crossfire v2s In my opionon ur gonna need a spare recone for basically any sub you get if you wanna be careless... if ur reallly careful it can be done SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorpro Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 That being said. Look up tantric sounds on faacebook. Newer company out of Louisiana. They have a nice 4" coil woofer. Big portential Crossfire XS V.2's. Another great 4" coil woofer. Steve Mick won 159.9 bassrace this year as well as bassboxing finals and he uses them. Great woofers at nice prices 1999 Ford ExplorerTeam Sundown Audio4th 2012 Db Drag WF Street Stock 150.8dbYoutube Channel!http://www.youtube.com/user/BoomyurblownOperation 156 No wall Build Log!http://www.stevemead...x/#entry2196123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
