cvxsmitty58 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 My buddy is convinced that i will lose all of my midbass if i switch from 2 12's to 2 18's. I know there is some truth to this but do i need to be worrying about adding more midbass? I know a ton of you guys run 18's and i was wondering what your results were........btw the box will be tuned to 33hz and my current box is 36-37ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxman38 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 im sure you will be fine... if you feel your midbass cannot keep up as well with your new set up you can always run more drivers or power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiller1 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 noo you lose all of it! the woofer kind of just makes a funny noise. thats why when you see people on you tube they use the same songs over and all the songs never have mid or high bass 18's are strictly for lows "yes... it will play like that all day!"

kl0wn Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 reaally?? that why ive never heard anybody with 18's play something oveer 50 hertz! there too big and they get in there own way! are we being serious? It depends how the box is tuned. Go look at a fart box strictly for a one note wonder, you'll see 15/18s playing 50hz+. 10s will get JUST as low as an 18. The 18 will just have more force behind it like said before. EDIT: And just because they are big, does NOT mean they will respond to the bass slower or "sluggish".... Double Edit: To OP, you will probably definitely notice a difference in your midbass after you upgrade to 2 18s. You can most likely upgrade to better quality midbasses that can handle more power, and then throw more power than you currently are with them. (In no way am I saying the midbass you are using right now are not good quality.) 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
