97EXPO Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 im running 2 bl 18's off 2 sundown 1500d's in about 20 cubes tuned to 33hz in expedition now. Thought about changing to 4 fi ssd 18's on the same 2 amps. Since its double the cone area, but lower power handling sub, would it be worth it as in a good bit louder? Each sub would be gettin around 750 each, maybe more. any thoughts?

46panel Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I would. Tristan560 went from two 18" BTL's to four 15" SSD's and it was a lot louder. It was just as loud if not louder than my three 18" BL's. So yea 4 SSD's would be a great choice. Or you could get 1 or 2 more BL's like me Quote 1946 Chevy Panel Truck: For Sale 1999 Ford Explorer XLT Subs: Ten Obsidian Audio 15's Sub Amps: Five American Bass 120.1's Speakers: American Bass mids and selenium tweeters Speaker Amp: Mb Quart Dsc4125 Electrical: DC power 250amp alt, 6 batteries http://www.youtube.com/user/46panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumpindemlowzz Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) I heard tristan560's ssd's also and they are a great 'entry' level woofer. I'm still very suprised the difference the ssd's made versus the btls... Night and day difference. I wouldn't hesitate swapping them out but atleast give them rated power Edited March 4, 2010 by dccavalier Quote 2010 Silverado 18" DC XL 18 DC 2k XS Power Batts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97EXPO Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 i thought about addin another bl 18, but i dont want to have to get another sub amp too, and i was told not to mix the 2 older bl's with a new one. I have had the bl's for over a year now, and im just ready for something else. The ssd's are rated 800 rms, so they would be getting at least 750. I probably sale my bl's now, and then if im not happy with the ssd's, i may try something else. thanks for help guys Quote 2012 scion xb bagged, 2 soundqubed hdc3 12's, soundqubed 2200 for now, need alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristan560 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It was also a huge difference when 46panel added a 3rd bl. Quote <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
