Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1729 Registered: Jan-06 | On the same power in the right enclosures the 18 will be louder by a good margin, safe to say 1-1.5dbs. Now with that said the 15 and the 18s use the same motor and with the 18 the SQ will suffer a bit due to the increased surface area resistance/weight compared to the 15. This has long been known that is why lots of peeps prefer 15s over 18s. Like in the days of racing there was a saying "there is no substitute for cubic inches" I believe that also BUT it is also how it revs. JMHO Polo..  |
