I like 15's....in my doors

I know 10s/ 12s can get loud, im talking about the visual appeal of the subs, and what you would assume mentaly. Im far from uneducated aswell. I dont like people who make rude sidways comments online either, cause i know for a fact you wouldnt say no of that to my face. Skar? Heard of em, never heard them btw..I heard they are called Skam though, so i kinda want to find out why. enough people are claiming bad things happen with that company so i have not looked into the product too much..and on top of that i have been happy with my fi subs, and american bass..

I think what you're trying to say is smaller subs don't look as impressive to the uneducated eye; mainly because of all the teenage hype about 15s and rapper's showing off their 15" L7's and singing about their Alpines "in da trunk." I know what you're saying though.

In regards to what I see on a regular basis, I personally am more impressed by other factors. If I see two flashy plastic cone subs labeled with "xxxWATTS Peak" in big letters sitting in a pre-fab sealed box I probably won't be impressed. If I see a Wal-Mart amp unmounted with a tangled wiring mess I'm probably not going to be impressed either. If I see a brand I know nothing about I'll get curious and probably do a little research to see if they're gold or garbage. If I see somewhat uncommon, but often liked equipment brands such as "DD, Sundown, Audioque, Fi, Audiopipe, Image Dynamics, etc..." I'll likely be impressed. By then end of the day, the size of the sub really doesn't mean much to me. If you're trying to impress people the first thing I would do would just be to make it look nice. Mount your amp, hide the wires, and dust your stuff off and you're much more likely to get a "wow" from just looking. At the end of the day though, untrained eyes are often impressed by shear size, so yes, in identical setups, when showing highschool kids, without actually turning it on, yes, I would say a bigger sub is more likely to impress somebody.

Bingo. You hit the nail on the head

I agree, but only for the uninformed as they have NO idea what's good and what isn't, so size/more subs is what they think is the loudest.

Being from Chitown you must see plenty of 8 12's crammed in a trunk set ups and crap like that.

Ben, I bet you'd have a chubby for the JackHammer.

[jdawg90]

haha benben is such a fag

I always prefer to use the least amount of subs possible to fill the space, if I have room for an 18, I'll use an 18, not 4 12's or 6 10's or any stupid number of subs.

I use 16 sets of 6x9 Kickers for my bass, i got daCray box I bought on CL, just filled the holes for the 12s that were in it with plywood and nails, and cut some spots for my 6x9 beasts.

I could reread this thread about 30 times and laugh each time. Shit never gets old.
