doubleD Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 just wondering your opinions..there are people with two 15" putting up higher dbs than people with 4-15s or 2-18s or more..we know the larger woofer set up is moving more air and doing more flex,..which do you prefer,,high scores,,or just being able to destroy your ride with so much flex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTL FTW Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I prefer clear accurate controlled bass that can knock the air out of your lungs. I sound deaden my cars to reduce flex and body panel damage. Fuck numbers. I'm happy if my ears are Alpine F1 Status DD CS6.5 x2 Front Stage DD 9512H DD M4a @ 2 ohm DD S2b @ 8 ohm per channel I run high ohn loads for MASSIVE headroom and cleaner SQ 270amp alt D2400 up front D3100 x2 batter in back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil4u2c Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Personally I think that it is a balancing act, for a daily I would want as much of both as possible but I would give up a little bit in the db department to get them low low's. If I had a car that was more for just the fun of it, I'd be pushing for 160 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTL FTW Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 beats vs spl in a lot of cases is about how much sound you keep in the car. 6 15s with 18000 watts and tons of panel flex will get spanked in spl lanes by 2 15s with 9000 watts and little to no panel flex. When I sound deadened my crossfire with 2900 watts going to 1 btl 12 I went up 2.6db Alpine F1 Status DD CS6.5 x2 Front Stage DD 9512H DD M4a @ 2 ohm DD S2b @ 8 ohm per channel I run high ohn loads for MASSIVE headroom and cleaner SQ 270amp alt D2400 up front D3100 x2 batter in back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdave07 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I like clean sound, and if you can move a shit load of air and scare people than do that too. I personally dont care about numbers, money can buy numbers. Just clean music and some moving air is all ya need Xterra * 69 Camaro * Audi S5 36 Ford * 51 Mercury looking for wire sponsor www.flyracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
