4 15s > 1 15?


Recommended Posts

i know 4 would get louder, but heres my dilemma.

i currently got 4 15s kickers cvrs in my trunk. i have a trunk. so the only way i can fit them atm, is by two dual sealed small boxes. it does get loud, i was thinking what if i sell them, and get one 15 xl or lvl5 in a nice ported box.

that would also mean i can finally put other stuff in the trunk like bags and shitt idk. lol..

got an unknown 1900rms, 5000 watt max amp.

you think i would lose alot of loudness by switching from four cvrs to one DC? under the same 5k watt amp.

i just lost alot of cone area, but still the same thing? would it not be as loud cuss of cone area?

Please tell me your thoughts on this.

I would say 1 15" in a properly sized ported box > 4 15s crammed in a tiny sealed box. But I'm no expert.

I don't think your "1900 watt" amp will be enough for a level 5.

I would do the upgrade to an xl. Like what everyone else said, "the one 15 won't be starving for air." also, you could probably fit a ported box

get the level 5 and build a really nice box. Then save up your money and get a better amp and it will blow your cvr's away
