Bluebrindle Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 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?

Bluebrindle Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) 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.

brewer_brewer Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 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.

marine87 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 i say 18's FTW and subs up port back is the best for that vehicle. just be sure you know what you're doing when you recone them. Quote Corporal, USMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
