Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 266 Registered: Sep-05 | why do people like 18's . i dont really like them they take too much space. i would rather have like 3 12's or 2 15's anyday. only 18 ive heard is a L7. not impressive at all. but i dont know much about them so can anyone tell me the benefits of them |
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Post Number: 283 Registered: May-07 | There are more 18's out there Fi Re DD just to list a few... More cone area.. the 2 15's would prolly take up more room than the 18 lol...18's can also get pretty low |

Gold Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 1129 Registered: Oct-06 | You have never heard an 18" L7 FYI |
Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 267 Registered: Sep-05 | no point of getting to low if what you listen to does even hit that hert. besides HT i see no point of an 18' its like tryin to shoot a rabbit with a mosberg pump |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 6797 Registered: Jun-06 | Frequencies below what ppl can audibly hear actually do have an impact on HT. After all, bass is felt just as it's heard. When you "hear" a plane crashing it's nice, when you "feel" it crashing it's a whole different ballgame. I can shake things without hearing it at all. That's deep! My 15" hit hard, just as my 18 does, it was that added extra depth that made it worthwhile. |
Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 268 Registered: Sep-05 | sh1t maybe it was a solo x it was a square turd, and why do some people act like as s's on here. you could of easily said they dont make L7 18's. yall need to be a little more polite |
Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 269 Registered: Sep-05 | so besides "feeling" it more what can an 18 that a 15 cant. maybe its just me im not really understanding it |
Gold Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 1131 Registered: Oct-06 | man...im just f@ckin around with ya it was a solo x though...the reason you didn't like it i bet is that it sounded like sh!t |

Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1596 Registered: Aug-06 | jones, sorry dude. i get the fever sometimes... when i read it at first it really seemed like you were just talkin crap or something. i really never jump on people, especially on the internet. anyway, homies? and yeah, they are BLs... the box is a t-line enclosure designed by team toxic bass. the port exits 3+ inches from the passenger side wheelwell. its around 10.5 cu. ft. total... |
Gold Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 1136 Registered: Oct-06 | hmmh...is that a T-Box tremor ? |
Gold Member Username: JblanfordPost Number: 1137 Registered: Oct-06 | never mind...it says in your last post |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1597 Registered: Aug-06 | and to answer your question... i really just wanted to try something different. ive gone through alot of setups and have never owned an 18". i also dont really care for single sub setups so it had to be two. then my new mission was loud lows in a small package using 18"s. and starting in about 8 or so hours ill be BACK at the shop because im building another box for them. i just wanna see how they will sound in a big regular ported box. its 17 cu ft. total tuned to 34hz... |
Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 273 Registered: Sep-05 | yea we cool. is that an explorer? because i think im goin to get 4 15's and they need like 4 1/2 cuft each so it'll be a lil bigger than your box tuned to about 36. but i dunno if i should go seald. i have 2 type-rs currently and i wanna move to the 4 kicker comps. before you dog me im doin this becaus im already running 1400rms and i dont wanna upgrade alt or change amps so this is ideal for me. but any suggestions |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1598 Registered: Aug-06 | i dont dog any setups, i just give advice... its a '98 grand cherokee... four 15"s in anything like an explorer, grand cherokee or blazer is going to be tough. most likely sealed or a wall but you can come up with something totally trick that may work... you could do four 12"s alot easier... what vehicle are we talking about? |
Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 274 Registered: Sep-05 | i gotta explorer. i was hoping for ported. but in a sealed box would is still have more spl potential than 2 type-rs. both setups running off the same amp. something like this http://realmofexcursion.com/videos/Kicker/comp15.1.wmv |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1599 Registered: Aug-06 | that guy had to lose his backseat... i dont know if the four sealed 15"s would be louder for sure, but my guess is yes... |
Bronze Member Username: Visitor01Post Number: 74 Registered: Jan-07 | Easy- more cone area, and the ability to hit deeper bass with more autority |

Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 610 Registered: Mar-06 | tremor, how is that port not blocked off? the shadows may be fooling me, but it looks quite tight, how much room does it have? |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1600 Registered: Aug-06 | there is PLENTY of room. for a port to work "correctly" the ports width must be equal or greater than the distance of whatever your up against. the port is 3 inches wide, so it has to be 3+ inches away from whatever. it is that far away and plus only about 6 inches or so of the wheelwell rides down the side of the box then it flares out to the quarter panel almost... trust me, there is a crapload of room from the port to anything. |

Um...and you do realize that a shotgun is usually what you use to hunt rabbits...right? Anyways...if you have the space for 1 18" but dont have the $ for 2 12's or 2 15's...or the $ to power them. 1 18" can give you great bass and amazing lows.} |

That is exactly what you said. And the most well known/common mossberg pump is the model 500 pump. http://www.mossberg.com/products/default.asp?id=3§ion=products It is a great budget duck, rabbit, and squirrel gun. I know ALOT of people w/ those, but I rather the Remington 870. (And dearly love my model 11/87 premier. ) Anyways...yea...18's are usually great for lows. There may be some 18's in my future *cough* hint *cough* |
Silver Member Username: JonespPost Number: 279 Registered: Sep-05 | my bad then. every mossberg ive seen was loaded with slugs and there would be no rabbit but im not a hunting guy so your probaly right |
