[QUOTE="20 hz bass machine, post: 8706532, member: 678131"] Me and my brother are back at it again. I'll try to keep things short and sweet. Last year we started our biggest build ever. 4 sundown X-8's on a 4000-sae, 3 way jl c5 component set on an xd600, pioneer p99 headunit, 100% coverage deadending with GP stfu mat, xs power battery, and mechman 320 alt. We hit 148 at 36hz in competition and overall were really happy with it. Of course there's always the want for more and we're starting our next upgrade. We're going to swap out the X-8's for 2 18" zv5's in a 4th order blowthrough. For now were going to keep the 4000 watt amp so the only thing that going to change is the subs. So the big question is how much louder are we going to get switching to the 18's? I made a post about this a few weeks ago going over my mindset for the new build. In a nutshell I'm hoping we get a nice peak from the 4th order and then, with the help of cabin gain, maintain a good response all the way down. All of this is going in a 2000 ford ranger regular cab (extremely small cabin) so I'm really counting on/ hoping for cabin gain to save this build from turning into a 1 hit wonder. All of this aside, what do think we'll gain from increasing cone size? I guess the rule of thumb is 3db every time you double cone area but I want to hear your experience with this. We have 155 set as a personal goal but I hesitate to think we'll get 7db just by switching to 18's What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
