dylan117 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 So for example there are 2 18lb subs that are 15"s and there is 1 18" thats 60llbs and has a slightly higher RMS rating than the pair of 15s only by 400rms or so over the 2 15s so would the 1 18" have a chance at being louder (say in the same tuning of box) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 all because the subs are heavier doesn't mean it has more motor force.. my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Very true ^^^^ Weight does not equal motor force, or better yet displacement. Which is what is really important. It depends on the vehicle, setup, and goal. Cone area is king because of how easy it is to increase displacement. But there are a couple tricks to help less cone area have more displacement and some woofers already have more displacement than other subs with greater cone area. If you're comparing two actual 1000 watt rms 15" woofers to a single 18" 1400 watt rms woofer, that extra 400 watts isn't enough to create enough displacement to overcome the difference in cone area so in that specific example 350 > 255 Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Dwn4BassAlan Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I only have one argument to make about why size isn't everything. Plenty of size, plenty of weight, still crap. And $10,000. Yet, remaining still as; $10,000 worth of heavy and sizable crap.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room. I missed Alan. RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

poorfish88 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 That sub is like having a big dick and not able to get it up Lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan117 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 So for example 2 DC level 3 15s going against 1 XL 18" in the same tuning im wondering this because my friend keeps arguing with me that the 15s would be louder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteadyMobbin Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 OP you're asking if 2 apples equal one orange. Your question might stand to get more answers if you simplified it i.e. Can one beefy 15 outperform one regular 18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
