roscoe1129 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 Bigger subs = Thats true if you have the power to push them I would say go for the 15's more cone area = more bass what kind of subs were you running and what kind are you thinking of getting. Also whats the amp you have is it 1 ohm stable?

andym85 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 yea, say the voice coils on a sub are for instance dual 2ohms...then u can either wire it to 4ohms or 1 ohm. if you have an amp that is one 2ohm stable, then you would probably fry your amp if you ran it at 1 ohm or your subs wouldnt see hardly any power being run at 4ohms...need to match ohm loads......oh, and dont go back to audiobahns! Quote i likes me some audio stuff...
jerbear923 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Posted June 29, 2007 my amps are 2 ohm stable . so what should that tell me? as far as what speakers to run?? Quote
kingsuv Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I say 12's and more of them Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it.
no0b4lif3 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 no matter what u get make sure the u can wire them to 2 ohms, in order to get the most out of the amp. like in my case, i have 2 amps (2ohm stable) and 2 15s (dual 4 ohm voice coils) and i wire each amp to each sub at 2 ohms. Quote

Ok! lol I've had 2 15's and 4 12's..... To be honest i think the 15's got lower, however, the 4 12's are currently running at 1/3 the power they can handle and it sounds awsome. If you got the space, Defo go for 2 15's ported. if sealed, and u can fit 4 12's go with tht, if not then 2 15's Quote
