Im feeling old.

[xiang]

A couple weeks ago I put my fi audio 18" btl i bought in 2008. used it for about a year on 1,000 watts and at the time (20 years old) I wanted to push 2,000. It never happned since I sold the suv and bought a coupe. Know I have it on 1,000 watts just to test the waters and it seem a bit to much for me now. Before I Didn't care while driving, now im a bit more considerate and find myself putting the volume down a lot at stops.

Im sure I can adjust the sub to put out just enough for my comfort but thinking of downsizing if i find out which other sub size can produce that same level and take less space.

Im not sure if i should go with a 12 or 15 or pair of 10's. Im looking for a set up that sounds more complete. sq? Im not sure what is needed to achieve it. suggestions?

I was thinking about selling it but its a dual 1 ohm not sure how many people have amps doing 2k at 2 ohms or wiring it down .5ohms. Then their shipping cost.

Bump it for awhile you'll get used to it, or deaf and won't know the difference. First couple of days I had my 4 15s I felt it was too loud, now I think I need to go louder.

use a gain knob on your amp and just leave it at half most the time. What i do for most songs unless im listening to Dubstep

Ya do this! Since we all know the gain knob is just another volume knob.

I am able to control the bass. But im still debating on getting a 10" or a 12". I might store the 18" again if a 10" or a 12" will do the job for me. It would also free up some space in the back and less weight.

I been out the car audio world for a while. What company is making pair of ten's or single twelve with good overall music playing ability.

 

[big scott]

ya sure.

if you want room back, get a good 12" that will do you ..

ya a 12" is my goto sub..

Id run a pair of SQubed HDS310s in 4 cu ft @32 htz like I have in my CRV..sounds great and clean when cruzing, and I can slamm when I choose too.A preamp EQ helps alot with tuning, and at my fingertips I am able to make adjustments when needed.Ive always found a a pair of heavy tens do well in a coupe, or small trunk space over the years.Seems like I can get a better more suffecient box built for a pair of tens than a pair of 12s..a nd have some room leftover at times considering the vehicle.One XFL 12 in 2.4@32 will do nicely,or SQubed HDS312
