ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm trying to decided. I'll be running a 1500 watt amp and I'm trying to figure out the dimensions for their respective boxes as we speak. I want the 18, because it'll pound the lows and the two 12s, well that's just easier on me, I can manage them easier (I can throw them in my cheap ass prefab until I have my good box built). I'll have either the two 12s or the 1 18 wired to 1 ohm so I can get the most power out of my future amp. If it was up to you, which would you go with, and what size box would you put them in?

EXOcontralto Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 They're both Fi - 1 18 would be my choice - That way you could get another 18 in the future!

ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) My car is way to fucking small for two 18s. If I did two 18s, I'd have to knock out the back seat and wall them in. If it got to that point, I'd have a new car with alot more options to make it better (i.e. better selection of alternators, more stuff, etc.). 1 18 actually sounds cheaper. And good to see you on here EXO.

ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 What about an enclosure? I'm going ported...but what about space and tuning?

xX MocK Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Go 18 you will love it. hit the lows like crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm planning on getting the 18 Q...although I think the 15" will fit better in my car. I'm boned on cargo space...so I can't fit a large box into it without having to do something to the rear seats.

LoudBimmer Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 yea, i would go with 18" too, save money, and in future get another 18" and wall them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'd need a big ass alternator...which no one seems to make for my car! And in all honesty, if I'm gonna go with two 18s, I'd rather have a car that will allow me to add those parts so I can actually do work. Or I can get a professional shop to install multiple smaller alternators.

Nirvalica Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I got an 18" Q recently. I like it a lot. Get it. Plus, 18's are just more impressive looking and sounding, and by sounding I mean like "Yo dude, how many subs you got?" "Just one, it's an 18" Quote My Youtube Page.

ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Lol...just found out by looking at Fi's site, that there is no way in hell I'm going to be able to fit an 18 in my tiny ass honda without making my box higher than my seats or removing my back seats or walling it in. I HATE MY SMALL CAR!!! Although the 15" is looking more tasty now. Lol. I just want that damn 18. Haha. If I got the 18" version, I'd be starving it of space. It'd be crammed in a less than 5 cube box and that's not what I want. I want to get everything I can out of the bastard...lol. So the 15" looks better now, in my opinion. But perhaps, if I do some remeasuring, I might be able to find a cube or two in there.
