Afficionado Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 If i have a maximum of 10-12 cubic feet to work with, and my goal is to move as much air as possible, would it be smarter to use 1 18, or 2 18's? If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.

A tight box often results in loss of low end and lost efficiency so increased power needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkolfo4 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Why not consider 2 15's? 30% more cone area than a single 18. 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.

Afficionado Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Why not consider 2 15's? 30% more cone area than a single 18. well, i am still completely in the planning stages. My goal is a hair trick, i'm not all that interested in the db's i can throw up. 2x 18's would put me closer to that than 2 15's, right? 1 18 isnt gonna move more air than 2 18s 9/10 times If i have a maximum of 10-12 cubic feet to work with, and my goal is to move as much air as possible, would it be smarter to use 1 18, or 2 18's?

DylanBunch Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Whats ur electrical system like? Cause of you could do 2 18 or even 2 15 on 2500-3000 im sure you could pull off a pretty good hairtrick. You would need the electrical system to back it up though 2006 Ford Explorer 2 Team AA/Sundown 15s 6th order Ct Sounds 7k 4 PRV Mr500 8s Rockford p1000-2 Team Subsonic Lows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afficionado Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I have the big 3 done on a stock alternator. Will be doing 2x D3100's in the trunk. I'm planning on running a T1500 on each 18 if i do decide to go with 2x.
