For the 13.5 you should run a JL

Speaker size has absolutely no effect on the frequencies they play.

Ever seen a 10'' midrange //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The enclosure is going to determine where the woofer peaks/plays

I really hope this guy doesn't believe any of you. I know you're joking, but he doesn't.

Just run 2 nice 18's, and a pair of sony/lightning/pioneer 10's from wally world to play dem highs nucca.

Or leave it factory, and turn your bass to the max for that pimping urbansound.

So if they all have the ability to play the same. What exactly is the difference between an 18" and a 10" besides the fact of the cone being bigger????

That IS the only difference.

Bigger cone means more pressure it can produce.

But a larger cone also means that you can put a bigger motor on it. It's all in the motor design. Some 8's can hit harder than 15's... but with the proper motor 15's could blow most 8's away.

Subs hit notes VIA frequencies.

A 40hz test tone means that the cone is moving 40 times a second.

An 18" will move 40 times a second.

And an 8" will move 40 times a second.

They produce the same tonal sound, it's just that 18"s have the capacity of moving more air.

When people say a sub sounds "sloppy" or "muddy" most of the time it's because of the box, or the sub's motor just isn't acting fast enough.

Since you're doing a wall and should have plenty of room I'd do a 10, 12, 15, and 18 to cover all the freqs. Should be very accurate and hit the lows nicely also. Might even consider running 4 diff brands of subs for that extra pimp look....

while at it get a jackhammer so you will hit well over 180 deebeez
