16 12s?


Recommended Posts

I have a fully loaded btl 18 now everybody thinks its crazy loud, which it is for 1 woofer. But i want something with presence! Like able to feel you from a distance. So i went to the local stereo shop today to get some stuff priced. I like to support the shop because my good friend owns it. Anyway i went down and told them i wanted to do multiple woofer setup. I had been thinking of like 4 15s or 6 12s but with the room i have, i said why not 16 12s on 8 t5001bds in a clamshell type design like chickens.

Now the thing that gets me is the woofers. Im not trying to spend 300 per on woofer that holds a shit ton of power. Im looking for something in the 100 - 140 range that is at most 400rms. Ive been thinking of rockford p2s just because of the quality. But in your guys opinion, which woofers would u go with?

are there any that could be better for this setup?

I'm not a fan of p2 at all.....the cones crack easily and they don't take power very well.

im not a fan of the sound of p2's

and i have seen quite a few cracked cones on them, and cracked cones are honestly pretty uncommon all things considered.

kicker cvr's can be had for like 75-80 bucks for 12's amd will easily hold 400 watts if you wanted to throw that much at it, i had 2 on a 700ish rms amp for months and never had a problem with it, and theyve gone through like 3 different owners so far and are still going strong.

infinity reference/jbl gto (theyre the same, just different dustcap basically) will also hold down that power and are un the sub-100 dollar price range, they also have a real nice sensitivity, i think its like 94 or 96, not to mention a good sound.

It seems like every RF subwoofers I've seen have a cracked cone as well. You go to the stores, they're cracked/ see someones setup, they're cracked/ Help someone fix their setup, they're cracked.

I think that's probably the most infamous part of RF subs is they ALL seem to crack their cones.

How much volume will you be needing for this setup? 16 is a hella lotta woofers man. :hairtrick:

Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks'
