basshead4life Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I have 4 12" alpine type E's. i want to upgrade because i overpowered the subs now the coils are screwed up and smeel all the time and i was wondering if a dc level 4 18 in the same box (5 cubes @ 35hz) would be any louder. its going in my mercury mystique, subs up port back.

thehoe92 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 well you are pushing around 1200 watts so if you are in to getting DC subs why not go with 4 LVL 2 12" subs in the same box? what design is your current box right now?

thehoe92 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I've never heard an 18 in your type of car so I can't give you any advice on that... what about recones? if you want to keep 12's then do the DC's but with subs forward port forward. did it in a 2 door civic and it moves a lot of air and sounds decent. whats your budget?

basshead4life Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 ok im probly gonna put about $500-600 for the sub(s) and then when i get more money an amp. so my plan was to buy a level 4 18 then an aq1200 then run with that for a while then get another lvl 4 and another amp eventually. id strapp the amps and run them at 2ohms. and so subs forward port forward sealed from trunk is loudest in a sedan?
