Jared420 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 OK right now my setup is completly stock electrical and i have 4 12'' jl w3v2s in their own boxes sealed 1 cuft per sub in thebackof my extended cab. Running off the AQ 1200 amp @ 1 ohm. Its bangin pretty loud and good but im wondering if anyone has anything to say about which setup would be better and louder. My setup is kinda a mess right now I have a dual downfire prefab box under the back seat and 2 home made boxes for the other 2 12s downfiring one in the middle on the floor in the back and one on top of the seat in the back in the middle. I like being able to seat 2 people in the back and I cant bring myself to take away anymore space for passengers. I am wondering if the 1 15 in a nicer more professional box off this amp will wang harder than these 12s that I have now. I dont know how much airspace the hd15 needs ported or sealed I did ask one of the audioque guys about the street duty 15 and he said 3-4 cuft for that one? does anyone know how much space the hd3 15 needs and will it sound better/ louder? what would you do if you were me? 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VistaV6 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 48 inches of cone vs 15 inches of cone....clean up the W3's. SUCCESS is a decision, NOT a dream. You have to name the price you are willing to pay to get it. "You didn't have an ice pick on you? Amateur. " -- Wax from Fchat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 48 inches of cone vs 15 inches of cone....clean up the W3's. Not 48 inches, the cone area is almost 2 18 inch subs. If you did 2 15 inch subs, with 2k RMS each, they would be louder for sure.(in a proper ported enclosure.) Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

kirill007 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 yea, i know, but it's going to be a close call, if only 1 15 inch.vs 4 12inch subs(~=2 18 inch subs.) I think, nobody knows if it will be louder or less loud. P.S. i think this topic will be closed because it's a which is louder topic.(may not open that kind of topic's, it's in the rules.)

VistaV6 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 More cone area = louder SPL potential....thats what every1 here has told me. If you are going to run 4 12's off 1k watts and 1 15 off 1k watts the 12's will be louder. SUCCESS is a decision, NOT a dream. You have to name the price you are willing to pay to get it.

loburbon Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 look 1 15 has roughly 176sqin of cone area, depending on the sub. and 4 12's have roughly 452 sqin of cone area. 4 12's in a proper enclosure will kill a single 15 2000 gmc yukon 4 sundown Zv3 15's 4 dd m2a's kenwood kdc-x994 2 batcap 4000's 1 batcap 2000 dual alts. 154@37hz and climbing http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3231683 http://www.myspace.com/torque150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 4 12's would most certainly be louder than 1 15 if they are in a proper enclosure. i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?
