2 18s Vs 3 12s


Recommended Posts

Thats pretty realistic. All other factors constant, SPL is a product of cone area and power.

x2 if your hitting those kinda numbers off of less cone area and less power i dont see any reason why you wouldnt be able to hit 150 with the new setup.

SPL is the result of tunning a box just right based on the accoustics of the car (xmax helps some ways, but not mainly for spl- when a subwoofer is in a box and is playing the tunning point, that is when the woofer moves the least), if you match quarter waves right with port tunning, the system will be done just right, and will get good numbers

So basically you'd measure from the port to the back of the car (or whatever the air is reflecting off), and then to the windshield (or wherever the meter is), and find whatever frequency that distance is the quarter wave of? Isn't that the same as tuning to the car's resonant frequency?

A couple links to some box builds:

Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI,

Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150

My own car builds (current setup --- under construction):

Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors

Subwoofer Wall
