Hunters21w Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I looked around for a similar thread but didnt find any. So I'm thinkin about goin for some numbers once everything gets here. As of right now I have a 18 btl but I keep seein people runnin 10s and puttin up some real numbers. Is this because they have more motor force than just 1 18? I know cone area has to account for something, theoretically the 18 could be louder in the right box. In your guys' opinions, and maybe from experience, what would you think could be louder on the meter. 2 10s or 1 18 of the same woofer? Please dont just tell me cone area wins all lol Quote 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abervintageman42 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 in the right box the 18 takes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 depends on the vehicle and space available for enclosure. The car's interior is just another part of the enclosure, and a certain cone area will work best in your cars particular volume. Most cars doing big numbers on low qty of 10s are CRXs and other small cars. There is no way to do similar numbers in a Ford Econoline.

Hunters21w Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 So lets say in the trunk of a decent size car, you think cone area would take it then? I have the space for basicly any 1 18 or 2 10s.

iTech Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) I think the 18" will be louder than 2 10's and it would also be cheaper if they're the same brand/series.

Hunters21w Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Not too worried about price. So it reallly just comes down to cone area then? I figured someone would give me a scientific explanation on why some 10s would be louder Why kind of box you think would put out best numbers for an 18 btl on 3k? Ive seen thuumpers box with 2 10s in a horn shaped box puttin up a 140+ at like 10hz Is there any kind of box that puts up numbers besides just a simple ported box? A t-line would be a little too big for an 18.. Sorry for rambling but I'm bored and eager to learn somethin new Quote 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters21w Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) well i remember reading somewhere that for a tline, my box would have to be like 15cft for an 18. Not sure how true it is tho. Ive never seen a quarter wave done. Is it meant for low power like the tline? Would the box size be comparable to a ported box or would it have to be much bigger? thank you for your opinion Are you runnin the lvl 5 oldschool?
