TheAustinHenry Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ok so this was my last day in school as a junior. Im running a SMALL business right now building boxes and doing installs for poeple at school. Also working 2 other jobs for the summer trying to get about 50 hours a week (i want a good system bad enough to work 3 jobs). So ill be making about $4,500 over the summer from these 3 jobs and my plans are to buy these things... Amps: Mids\highs - Undecided Sub amp - T2500-1bd Subs: Fi BTL 18" Fully loaded Wiring: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 kit Alt: Iraggi 300a Door Speakers: RF Power series T152-s So why im posting is... ive never heard an 18" even. But the person everyone know around here for the loudest kid with a system has 4 L7 15" subs powered by 4 Crunch 2000.1s. Will i be louder than this with just one 18"? Will i need to save up and upgrade to 2 18"s? Or do i not even have a chance. I really want to be know for this stuff, so any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys! im active on here now so ill answer pretty quick if you have questions!

Playa Named Joe Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I don't think that 1 18 will get louder than 4 15 l7s, unless it's in a bad box... I would try to do at least 2 18s, it not 3. You could go with a cheaper sub brand, like AQ, They have amazing subs and low prices. 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl0wn Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Bro your wasting our time because someone will always be louder then you end of story. How is he wasting his time? He never asked or said he wanted to be the loudest in his county/area. He is trying to be the loudest at just his school for his senior year. To the OP, I doubt just having that sub will be louder than his, unless he made a horrible box for them.. I'd go with what Playa Named Joe said, and get some AQ 18s instead of the Fi's. They are cheaper, and are still good quality subwoofers. Roughly generally speaking, with the rule of the thumb of cone area, with 2 18s you'll have less than him. With 3 you will have more, or roughly the same (squares have a little bit more cone area than regular and I don't feel like calculating how much the L7s have). To save a little bit more money, instead of going with RF wire (not saying they are bad or bashing RF), you can go with KnuKonceptz instead. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohckiller808 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 your up against a huge cone area. to beat him in a burp youll need at least 4x his power off 1 18". has he metered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldsBoomer Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I would say you need a good amount of power and more cone area for sure, im thinkin about 5k and 2 18's in a well built and designed box will get you louder then him except if he knows what he's doing when it comes to boxes Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
