Owners1 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I had 4 15s and switched to 2 18s and I love it for a few reasons. 1) The bass isn't OVERKILL. 4 15s has a huge amount of bass even on low levels so you have to watch out if you like to play normal music sometimes. 2) The WOW factor of having 2 18s and beating people with 6 12s is just priceless. 3) 2 really good 18s will cost you less or near the same as 4 15s and go much louder with less power.

I'm going to question some things. First, 1000 watts is 1000 watts is 1000 watts. Now 4 15s is going to have slightly more cone area, and cone area usually adds to SPL, but your first statement is false. Type of box, tuning, type of sub, variable factors might come in to play, but a box for 2 18s and a box for 4 15s, both tuned at the same should be slightly louder on the 15s. Second one I can go with. Third one I have to question as well. First you say the 4 15s have a huge amount of bass, but then this statement you say 2 18s are louder. Again, technically the 15s should be louder because of cone area.

alecwilde Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I would say 2 18"s. If you get a really good sub the low end will be ridiculous.

Install is 90% the battle Quote My build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...8920&st=100 http://www.youtube.com/Bulletinjection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
