18Sound Eighteen vs Sundown Fifteen

[Patrick Bateman]

Generally I'd argue that the subwoofer with the highest power handling and the most displacement will generate the most output.

But there are some prosound drivers that have so much motor force, they basically allow you to 'go up a size' because the BL is so high.

So even though they have less XMAX than a typical car audio sub, their high BL might make up for it.

Only one way to know for sure, so let's do some sims.

Do you even bother reading the rules?

Is this a head to head test or a question?

Based off his other threads im guessing hes going to post test results from his own testing of both the subs.

I wanna see that 18 take 3k all day like that sundown could

[Jessica]

that 18sound sub has 3 ratings, one of them is 1800 watts but its called "AES" power, whatever that means. Tuned in if there will be testing.
