LSN2meBoom916 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) OK-NO OFFENSE TO ALMOST EVERYONE ^^^^^^^BUT...... Not everyone even LIKES the sound of 15's or 18's. The ability of a smaller sub to be more "accurate" or have better transient response is very appealing to folks who listen to MUSIC w/ more instrumentals or DIFFICULT bass passages. Although "woofer for woofer" the bigger you go the more output you'll get, you don't neccessarily have to go bigger to get more bass. I used to run 2-15's sealed (my 1st ever setup). My buddy had 2-12's in a bandpass box. The SQ was about the same but my setup was def louder. When I rebuilt my car w/ the 4-12's sealed I noticed a BIG TIME increase in SQ due to better transient response, gained 6db and had to go download a buncha techno jams just to test how much difference having "quick" subs made. The diff was NOTICABLE. So, I guess i'm just sayin, you don't neccessarily have to fill an SUV w/ 15's or 18's to get loud, you could just use a BUNCH of smaller subs and it would sound as loud or louder and have better SQ (which matters to some folks more than others). You may say "but the bigger subs can play lower"...which may be true assuming you are limited on space but in a bg enough/well designed box 8's and 10's play 30hz quite nicely. Ask Ray about the integra w/ 6-8's doing 151db TL at around 40hz.

loudlancer Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I totally agree with your comment, Not everyone likes a bigger sub! I for one dislike bigger subs and have run many different brands thinking it was just the sub, also different styles of boxes. Bigger subs just not for me! IT all comes down to what the user wants!! A single 18" will get loud, 3 12"s would be better overall for the space you have, 3 subs tlined would be sick as hell! I would actually very much so like to see this!!

sean 371 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I would love to do three subs t lined. But that would take up wayy too much room. I'm thinking about just getting an Fi Q12 and putting it in a low tuned t line. Powered off a 10001bd, that should be more than loud enough. And the SQ should own any other enclosure type.
