How well do 15s play music?

[mr.p]

fs of a larger woofer in the same line will probably be lower

LOL wow, I guess I look at 12's and 15's alot different than other people. My bro in law has two 15 inch fosgate T2's on a 1000bd and he can hit some low bass notes. I got a Diamond Audio 600.1 on 2 12 inch lightning audio VC2's and mine punches harder than his. Trust me when I say that there is a big difference in the way the bass sounds from a 12 to a 15.

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a guess that one of these sets up is built closer to the actual desired specs of the sub and tuned corretly with the correct port area ratio to internal volume of the box compared to the other set up?

Yer not getting the whole concept that it is all in the enclosure design that will make or break any system no matter what SIZE sub is used...

a 12" can sound just as good as a 15".

like everyone said.

It's all in the enclosure/install.

My box was custom built for my subs and tuned at 33 HZ so yes you are right. His box could be bigger for his 15's. I am not trying to argue with anyone about the size of the subs, but I am speaking from my personal experiences. If a 12 and a 15 sounds exactly the same then why do they make the different sizes?

[creyc]

My two 18s are WAY more punchy and hard hitting than my brothers two 10" Qs. This is contrary to what most people would think "oh use 10s for fast rock music and 15s for slow rap blah blah". Completely false.

15's will sound just as good as 12's, but they will be louder.

sub sizes are like titties. some like em big, some like em small. i would love for you to sit in my blazer. the first thing you would say is there's no way those are tens.

buhahahaha at the titties comparison

[Torres]

for different applications of course. some want small subs in small spaces, some want to fill up their space with big subs. some want to fill bigger spaces with small subs. some want lots of bass while other want a little. with that theory...we'd all be driving cars. no trucks, vans, suv's. just cars of different companies. see what i'm gettin at?

If I remember correctly he's underpowering those 15's so that may have something to do with it.

^^ that deserves to be in a sig... ROFLMAO

back to the topic...

yes its all about the box design.. you can slap a couple 8's in a T-line and fool people in thinking its a 15"
