Noobtastic14 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) your going to need a much larger box- and alignment will play a big role as well. The 18 will have more cone than your pair of 12s so very well could put up larger numbers. what car? welcome "thedrew" to the forum -Drew Edited March 16, 2009 by Noobtastic14 Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yes go with the 18. With that power bracket there are many 18" subs that will perform well in 7-8cuft @35hz inluding the Fi Bl, DC leve 4, RE SX, and if i was more familiar with what models have what power handling you can find ***, DD, Sundown all have lines in that would work. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

thehoe92 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 the 18" Bl will do well on the zx1500.1 I have mine running off 1500 watts and people think I should throw more at it. Fi's are beasts so you should have head room to upgrade amps if you want louder. Welcome "theDrew" and welcome to the 18" club pressures on now.

Pull those twelves out and roll with the 18 for a while. It's all trial and error my friend, you won't truly know til' you hook it up!

Derrick824 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Bls laugh at 1500watts. They'll take that all day long without breaking a sweat. IMO you should easily do mid 140s with that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to until I can do something with my alternator either a new one or big 3. I am waiting until I get two 18's before I upgrade to a t2k. thats really far down though. but thanks drew Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
