Question...3 15"s louder than one 18"?

[Raisedin305 5,000+ posts]

I was wondering if three 15" Kicker L7s would be louder than one kicker 18" Solo X. Each L7s running off a KX1200 amplifier (1200rms @1ohm) and the SOLO X running two KX2500 amplifiers. Which would be louder to the ear? Which will be louder on the TL?

hell yeah x3 in the cone area dept.+ I think that three subs are going to be a little more efficient than a single . At least that has been my past experience.This is also just my honest opinion.

Too many variables to decide, As in maybe what box will they be in ?

may be one way or the other.

depending on the box and the install.

wall? nonwall? crx? van? suv?

theres way to much to consider.

Solo X would be a 10cubic ft ported box (tunning not none yet).

L7s would be in a ported box and IF there is FOUR L7s they will go in a CRX box.

are you using it for a daily driver?

Yes but would like to compete in SPL competitions also. I want to hit some where near 155.

solo x = bad daily driver. Go with the L7's...if you must stick with kicker

Really looking for something that will get really loud

How much do you have to spend? I think something like a single MT or something along those lines would treat you well...

And hitting that high of a number will not be all speaker dependant, a lot of research and time must be spent in order to hit those kind of numbers.

x2 on the MT...i had a 12 for daily driving and it was loud and wasnt too bad SQ...get a 15 MT and put a 2500 D on it.....box design takes a big part in putting up big numbers at comp's also

also...look into TC sounds...their 3hp and 4 hp drivers are amazing. the LMT's are also very neat

i myself have a TC 3hp 15...and it slaughtered my XXX 15 in a snailshell that was built for the XXX
