So i am thinking very hard about what to buy to be the loudest. If you took subs from the same company same on every level but the sizes what would be losdest. 3(or 4) 12", 2 15" or 1 18". All wired down to same Ohm with same amp and specs.

12 RE audio X series 12's

4 gauge wiring to back batt (soon to be 0 gauge)

0 gauge from batt to amp

kinetik 1800 in back

clarion cx-200 HU

SPL 3000 wired at 2 ohms

8 Re 6.5 full range speakers

4 12's

4 12's , not only for the cone area, but if they were the same subs, they would have the same specs ( magnet weight motor etc, other than baskets n all that) so you would have ex 200 lbs of motor/mag instead of 50 lbs of motor/mag on 1 18. Get da 12's

well 4 12's is more cone area... but what you have to take into account for is.....

if your running 1 18... i would assume you would only run a single amp.... what you need to remember is that the more resistors you hook up in a circuit the greater the impedance rise...

so if you hook up and 18 at 1ohm.. it dc resistance is going to be around .9

if you hook up 4 12's at 1ohm... the dc resistance will be a bit higher say around 1.3

then once you slap the woofer(s) in an enclosure you will get box rise... so your impedance will be a lil higher than that... and we all know higher impedances= less power

so in short(yeah i know its already long)... if you run a single amp i would go with fewer but bigger woofers... if you run multiple amps then i would go for the quantity option...

someone correct me if im wrong.....my .o2
