bass_4_ever Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 heyhey everybody, so im wondering what would be the better buy for me...I'm planning on getting either a 15" or 18" BTL. I am limited by the space I have since this setup is going into a VW Golf GTI. I have 6-6.5cuft to play around with but also need some space for amp(s). I was reading up on the BTL and saw that the 15" requires 3-5cuft, while the 18" requires 5-10cuft. What do you think would be the best size of sub for the enclosure size? I really dont want to take out my back seats since this car is my daily driver. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 well if you have space then do it up with the 18 inch bet it'll hit the lows like crazy man. Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

bass_4_ever Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 but in the space i have (6-6.5cuft MAX) do you think the 18 would hit as hard as the 15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 a 5 cube box for a btl 18 is fine as long as you gots some power to push it bigger boxes = needs less power smaller box = needs more power Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Beanz Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 not the world biggest but you may be able to just not a really big one. Quote That's why they don't deliver.
