badfish Posted September 25, 2010 Report Posted September 25, 2010 used to have 4 12s on one and loved it. was thinking 2 18 fi qs for cone area but it seems like an overkill. not going for tl but loud clean and low. any opions?
bassl0va Posted September 25, 2010 Report Posted September 25, 2010 2 18"s is effectively 4 12"s in cone area. So it wouldn't really be overkill, the box would need to be bigger than one for 4 12"s though. Plus the 18"s should play pretty damn good if you build them a nice box.

bassl0va Posted September 25, 2010 Report Posted September 25, 2010 ^it sounded more like he is going to run one amp per sub, in which case he'd need either dual 1s or dual 4s. Unless he has the amps already though he could get a better deal than JL My RE MT 18" wall build Former build, farewell beloved wall.In progress, Toyota Starlet build This forum has a massive boner for ridiculous electrical upgrades.
badfish Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Posted September 25, 2010 jls are good 1-4 ohm and i meant overkill by being 1000 rms subs only getting 500, i guess ill go with what subs i can get cheaper

skittlesRgood Posted September 25, 2010 Report Posted September 25, 2010 JL's have a regulated power supply so that should be fine... what does that have to do with giving a sub half power?

zerosktr111 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Posted September 25, 2010 what does that have to do with giving a sub half power? That JL audio amp gives out 500 watts no matter what the input voltage or impedance of the subs (till 4 ohm i believe). Most 1kw amps will do about the same power as a 500/1 on 12v after impedance rise was all I was saying. In other words he should have no problem getting them moving with those amps... -1985 Chevy S-10 Longbed -12 Obsidian Audio 12's -2 Sundown SAZ-4500D's -4th Order Bandpass -157.1 DB sealed up on the dash (More to come) Awesome Cmpanies: -www.obsidiancaraudio.com - ww.sundownaudio.com
