subs canceling each other out?

[Haunz 10+ year member]

The placement of the subs will affect loading.. but for the subs to actually 'cancel' each other the distance between them would have to approach 1/2 the wavelength of the frequencies being played.. you can do the math if you like, but for subbass frequencies in the trunk of a car, it's a non issue..

Cone area is important but so is power and airspace. 5 sufficated 10s will get walked on by 2 straight high powered 12s

So is cone area not important cause i was gonna go with 3 12s but 5 10s has more cone area

12's usually need at least 2 cu ft plus port...10s about 1.5 plus port ...8's about 1 cu ft plus port in general....unless your going sealed cone areas not that important...not as much as speaker quality and proper box design...ive beat many systems in loudness with 4 8's that were running 4 15's...plus mine hit low as well....

put a 18" or maybee 2 15s.....but 2 12s would prob be the best with only 6 cubes

I was thinking of a brz 2400 or 2 it depends on how much i can use to compete

ive never used brz but i have a bxi2610 and im happy with it....i think you should get one of those and 2 12s

You think 2 12s would be better than 1 18? I was wanting to do something different

 

[slvrado28z 10+ year member]

i think 1 18 would be better

1 18 will be a tight fit. I think 2 12s in a trunk wall will be hot
