Loudbassforall Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have a Fi BL 18" fully loaded running off a Sae1200D. It is a great system and I love it. But I guess part of being a basshead is wanting to upgrade. I've been thinking about a 2 woofer set up and I was gonna stick with Fi and get 2 SSDs or 2 Q's. They are priced fairly but I just saw that the SA-15's came out. I know that they are good subs and they are cheaper. Will 2 SA-15s off the sae1200d be LOUDER then the 18? I will eventually get a new amp for them. Possibly the Saz1500d, but could I run an AQ2200d?? If anyone has ANY suggestions from experience please get back to me. Thanks!

Socky Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Most likely will be louder in the right box, plus more cone area.

Loudbassforall Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm going to get a great box for them no prob. I just wanna know how much louder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Named Joe Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) It all depends on the install. If you have proper box size and tuneage, it should be louder due to more cone area. Edit: BLs are power hungry, so off that 1200, you're not using the BL to the full potential. I had one fully loaded on about 1400 rms, and it laughed at it. Going from 1 18 to 2 15s will be a good upgrade. A general rule of thumb is off the same power and in the correct enclosures, more cone area will be louder.

Loudbassforall Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 lol I said I'd get a box for them, meaning I would have one built from this dude who has 4 18's. He built my box for the BL and it hits hard even though its only seeing 1200wrms. You don't need that much power for a sub to hit hard you just need a decent box. A sub off 500rms in a good box would sound louder and better then a sub off 1000rms in a shitty box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
