Which setup?

[hdorre]

Which setup would hit the lows harder? I'm looking for a "ground pounder."

1) Two 15" fully loaded Fi BTLs in a 9.5 cubic foot enclosure tuned to about 32Hz with one Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bd per sub (wired down to 1 ohm)

2) Two 18" fully loaded Fi BTLs in a 10 cubic foot enclosure tuned to about 32Hz with one Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bd per sub (wired down to one ohm)

------------------------------------------------

I know the 18s would have more cone area; but the 15s are in a better sized enclosure because the reccomended size for the 15 is 3-5 cubic feet while for the 18, it's 5-10 cubes.

your not gonna be a GP'er with 2 15's or 18's.

impossible to tell you what will "hit" lower

It all depends on the acoustics of your car.

damn man, ur always helping me.. thanks. What setup would you go with if you had a small SUV?

I'd do the fifteens in a proper box theres nuthin worse than someone tryin to get a larger sub into there ride by puttin it in a box thats to small for it and wonder why there friends shitty 10's are louder

it's going in a Mazda Tribute which is a small suv. It's pretty much a Ford Escape

I had an idea that was the case but I heard you could give a sub more power to make up for the smaller enclosure. I figured i'd ask on here because you guys have helped me in the past

Do you think I could achieve decent hair tricks with either setup?

I've heard nothin but good things about those subs. Those quad 1.2 ohm voice coils would confusing as hell to hook up and im not try to go broke with spending like $1000 per woofer, On top of that I'd need almost 9000 watts RMS PER SUB..thats not even including the mids and highs
