lvl 5 18's vs lvl5 15's


Recommended Posts

ok i have 2 lvl5 15's now in a dual chamber box, just over 4 cu ft eack and tuned to 32. i need a re cone on one sub so i,m thinking i may just re cone them to 18's.

currently i have sub up port up but with 18's im not gonna have as much space. i cant really get in more than 10 cubes after displacement

i will have just over 3k on tap for each sub and would tune to 35 as ai believe the 18 will naturally be able to drop lower, while having tuning a bit higher to keep the punch.

so is it worth it? bare in mind the 18's are gonna be in small enclosures but with a lot of power.

also i have heard that in suvs (mines a grand cherokee) sub up port back is best?

sub up pot back and 10^3 might be too small but not sure

edit: 10 is the suggested ported for 2 18s

Stay with 15's in that enclosure.

do you think the 18's wont work as well?

if anything i may change to sub up port back, if anything because i just dont think i,m getting anywhere near the most from the 15's now.

just had another work out and i can get 10.6 cu ft in after displacement.

if you aren't getting the most out of the 15's with that space then you will be even more dissappointed with the 18's.
