4-10's..3-15's...1-18"?

for spl or sql?no one on the forum seems so give enough info.

if u like the lowes the get an 18. i have sdc2.5 15s because they would fit best in my golf. if u want spl get what has the most conarea. single big subs will be louder than smaller single subs.

what amp do u have? if u have just one amp and u are saying 3 15s then u r going to have to wire them funny and u will either get a little more or a little less power depending on the voice coils and how you wire it.

we need to know

what amp or amps do u have?

do u have enough electrical to support your amp?

what kind of car is this going in? fitting the sub in might be easy but getting a 30cuft box wont be.
oomeskoo? what is wrong with what i said?
haha and this is coming from some one that has type Rs!now that is somthing to laugh about it!
all i can say is wow.

im not a big fan of alpine but type r's arent bad at all especially for the money

this is easy

wrong. if you were closer, i'de throw down a few bills to bet i could get a 6.5" sub playing just as low as an 18" sub.

if u want spl get what has the most conarea
How about a small driver that has a huge xmax? SPL = sound pressure level. To have pressure, you need to displace air. Cone area is only a part of this situation. Would you rather have an 18" sub with a 12mm xmax or a 12" sub with a 30mm xmax? I'de take the 12"

single big subs will be louder than smaller single subs.

.
read what i just said about xmax.

if u have just one amp and u are saying 3 15s then u r going to have to wire them funny
funny?

You are ignoring things such as amp stability and impedence rise. In some cases, you can gain quite a bit out of an amplifier with wiring like this.

 
"Yes. SPL"i was talking to the guy with the type Rs

he is not for spl if that is a pic of his set up. and if he is for sql he made a very por choice by getter the pioneer preimers
the 4 12's will do mid 140's daily easy

if not a little more.

i had a single 10 doing low to mid 150's burping it

 
I am going to say it one more time.

In order to meter well, you need an SPL setup. SPL = sound PRESSURE level.

PRESSURE is developed from air movement.

Thus, theoretically and in a perfect environment, the best output you will get (and the best output you will probably be able to realistically achieve with your experience) will be the setup with the biggest volume of air displaced.

there are other factors such as box effeciency, where your vehicle will resonate at, firing direction, port style, box style, etc etc etc.

I hope that was a joke.

I want to meter well.

Bottom line.
no joke at all

smaller subs faster response

larger slower response but gives nice roll off for low end. although you can get plenty low with a tiny speaker if you really want to

i had a single DD 99z10 doing mid 150's

you can throw 50 6.5's in and do well on a meter

it helps to have good equipment but it all comes down to if your install sucks dick you are wasting your time

 
"You are ignoring things such as amp stability and impedence rise. In some cases, you can gain quite a bit out of an amplifier with wiring like this."

this is why i said you need to know what amp they have. do u know of any amps that says they are stable at 1.3 ohm?

larger xmas makes a difference but no. the largers Xmas does not make it louder. look at the worlds loudest sub. has around 18cm xmas

being loud to the ear and being loud on a meter are very different situations, my friend.

do some reading before you post please. You're just digging yourself a hole.

there are a ton of them.

just curious to find out what you say is the loudest sub in the world
