Bluebrindle Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 i have heard many dc 18s and they play music fine, 1lowsuv has 4 lvl4 18s play music fine, i had 1 18 music was fine. ill soon have 2 18s in my durango and 1 in my van, c45 iirc has lvl4 xl 18s sounded great. edit: i just like 15s and 18s because EVERYONE has 12s, on the streets you see a few 15s but not many with 18s. Please dont tell me that now i only jus put the 15's in I suppose though that i had to be persuaded that a 15 would still play nice and now i have used 15's i doubt i,ll ever fit anything smaller, the lvl4 15 drops so nice but punches hard too in a box tuned at 32hz I bet the 18's drop silly low http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHFHades Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I went 15 cuz an 18 woulda been too big for my car I think Quote 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Pioneer DEH-P2900MP, Big 3 done in 1/0, 1 run 1/0 ran to amp DAT HF1000.1 #007 powering a DC lvl4 15 DAT HR 4085 prototype powering 2 Selenium 6s and 2 no name tweeters running active 1st place in AS3 @ Surf City Sound Off, 140.8 @ 45hz @ the headrest. rebuild coming soon to get a better score "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail.

Torres Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 i thought about going with 4 15's for a sec for my new setup since i cant fit 4 18's behind my back seats in a wall. but i scratched that and went with 2 18's for now till i get another amp and a third 18. in the past i've just had better luck with 18's, and i think big woofers look intimidating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I think I've convinced myself to go with Two DC Level 4 12''. They're going into the box that I already have: http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?products_id=301 Does anyone here see any problems? It's going to be a total of 2400 watts off two eD nine.1 amps strapped.

moh.vze.com Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Because for like 20$ more you can be louder... Exactly! I feel like I 'could have' done better for a little extra $. But I'm always limited due to trunk space If I wasn't going back to school next year, I'd wall off my damn camry and do two 15''s Quote DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 im only runnin a single 12 that handles 400 rms, so then i was gonna get a DC lvl3 12 for more power handling. after some thinkin i decided to go with a 15 to get more bang for my single sub setup. i dont have alot of room, not enough for 2 12s or 2 15s but would be easier for me to run a single sub over multiple subs. so in my case 1 15 will do fine....for now until i "need" bigger lol. IMO its about what works with whats wanted, or somethin like that Quote March 2010 SOTM winner my old buildhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/50219-dank-aka-crackers-bonne-new-v2-build-in-the-works-hahahaaaaaa/page__hl__crackers my youtube page - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jackiedan04#g/u my feedback - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/56540-official-cracker-feedback/ i need tacos and bass to live!!!!! and will NEVER change hahaaaa TEAM NOIZE VIOLATION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
