Which 18's?


Recommended Posts

I'm upgrading my system to hopefully 4 18s and i wanted to know which ones people on this forum suggest. i also would like to know which amps u would suggest and possible ideas for a box. They would be in the rear area of my Chevy Trailblazer. I have a budget of about 25k for the system alone.

Thanks in advance for ne advice

Nice choice of equipment for your current system.

A lot of people will recommend Fi, DC, DD, and TC Sounds if your big balling and can find some for sale.

I personally like DC.

4 LV4 18's hasn't been done yet to my knowledge.

If you are on a budget, Check out Mach 5.

Their cheapest 18" is $116 Shipped.

New ones are $155 Shipped.

They also have somewhat upper level subs.

for a 25k system i wouldnt run those mach5. they are affordable subs, but unless you put like 10 of em in there *that would be fckin awsome btw hint hint* i would get something better. if i had that kind of cash to drop on a system id get lvl 5's and a shit ton of power. multiple alternators/power runs/ batteries.

tc sounds are loud as hell and very clean sounding, i loved the way the tc-1000 sounded and they where extremely loud for the price. (back when they where like $120, shoulda stocked up on them)

build thread and pics are a must!!!! or we will all come and find you!

Why are you suggesting $150 subs when he has $25k to spend. Give him what he wants to hear. MTX Jackhammer

lol, 25k is a little sketchy. but still if he wants us to help him why not just help him. we are here and that is what steve made this sight for.

that being said four 22" jackhammers and eight t4k amps xD

(idk what the power rating on the jackhammers is lol, im sure they will sound good with two t4k per sub xD) hopefully you can line match and amp, or does rockfords master/slave thing do that. idk

i kinda agree with digital. not saying this is B.S., but im sick of these post. theres a million of them. everyone wants to do 4 18's and ask what they should do. if you search through some of the other post you will clearly find out every one is gonna recomend fi or dc for the subs and rockford or someother good company like sundown for the amps. no offense to this guy or anyone else but i read these post on the daily and there all the same. its gets irritating real quick.

If this is going in a trailblazer your most likly gonna have to wall it. you might be able to fit a box something similar to steves if you loose the back seat but im not sure theres just not that much room.
