Smaller subs vs. Larger subs - accuracy

[Josh_101 10+ year member]

Almost impossible! Half the time i just say "uh huh, yeah sure."

Some people just dont care about the technical aspecs of a good system, they just wanna make noise.

Too much mis-information about how "bigger is better".

Which is why I am going with one 8" sub. I want the "wow" factor from people.

This dude I used to hang out with has a 15" Memphis Mojo sub, in his ext cab s10. He's got it in this tiny *** box that looks like its around a half CF, and its being pushed by a Hifonics 1000 watts mono amp, which I wouldn't even know if it is or not cause he's an idiot at car audio. Even had home speakers that were ghetto rigged into the truck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Well, the sub certainly gets loud, but it strait up sounds like *** in that tiny box, and so does everything else. I tried to set him up strait before, a few years ago when he bought a couple cheap Street Edge subs which sounded ok when I helped him install everything and get it setup. But he had to go eff everything up when trying something different on his own...

Same reason I have two 8's in my Dakota. That, and I just wanted some good subs to fit behind the rear seats.

when i went from 2 12" gti's in ported to 3 gti's in a sealed, the bass got tighter and louder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif hooray for sealed.

At first I thought that if the same magnet is pushing a smaller (lighter) cone, It must be able to move it faster. But one day I read the logic that a 15 only has to move about a quarter inch to produce the same size wave as a 10 moving an inch, so it can sound better. Bigger subs and bigger boxes on the same power will always win though high or low bass.

I will say that I used to have two JL 12's (sealed) in my old car. The sub box was built by a reputable shop.

For some resaon the subs always seemed to be a half-second or so behind the music.

When I switched to two 10's the problem disappeared. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

lag comes from having processors or bass boosters on

subwoofer myths dispelled (a good read writeen by Thilo Stompler)

If my 15's are "slower" than your 10's does that mean if I send them a 30hz tone they'll actually play a 25hz tone?

18's for the lows, 10's for tighter/faster music
jk...your right

No, sorry.
