bigbodylexus Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I would go with (2) 12's. I know they say you will hate it later on but what I hate is the fact that I have a box that takes up damn near all of my trunk and sounds half as good because I went to 15's. Right now I would much rather have something that fits my space and sacrifice a little boom, than to have no space but the quality has been reduced.

So you noticed worse sound quality with the 15s right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostility Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 So you noticed worse sound quality with the 15s right? no i just have to choose between 2 fully loaded BTL's or 3 fully loaded BL's in 12" Quote 99 s10 4.3L Big 3 220amp alt Odyssey 1500 Odyssey 2150 Northstar NSB 75 Sundown Audio 3500D Sundown Audio 125.2 3 Sundown Audio SA-12's Alpine H/U RF Power Comp set 6.5" RF 3 sixty line driver 5.25 cubes @ 31hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 You got to click slot port. Here i got other dimensions with exposport's calculator. YOu got to choose 2 12 inch BTL's because you can't get enough airspace for 3 12inch BL's. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

alvitae Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) I would go with 2 12's. Done right they can be louder than you want to listen to for very long. I know mine are. The faster or slower sub thing I think is a myth. I think box and sub parameters have more to do with sounding good with different music than anything.

I think box and sub parameters have more to do with sounding good with different music than anything. yea i think the sound of having 3 12's sounds better but in reality the 2 btl's would be better as i figured 3 12's would be a tight squeeze. so no i have to figure out. right now i have a xxx firing up slot ported up. should i have the btls firing up also or firing forward and port up? after i get that figured out then ill have to find out how to port, same L shape port i have now, subs behind passenger side seat. port behind drivers seat? right now it push's most air. but i want to be more clean then spl. so i was thinking of tuning to 31-33 hz. and i appreciate the help guys, its hard to make decisions when you have options. even though mine are limited.
