THE Thread

And speaking of stupid people, lookie what I just got done arguing about

basshead: well 3 12's 36in and 2 18's 36in so whats tha diff

SyKo13: 3 12's and 2 18's isnt the same

basshead: so what are you sayin man

basshead: ROFLMMFAO

basshead: when it comes down to it its about cone area and how much that cone moves

basshead: so y is this ****head tellin me that 1 18 can beat 3 12's

SyKo13: so a 10 MT wont get louder than an jackhammer right?

basshead: if you have three XXX 12's v one xxx18 which setup will b louder

SyKo13: u gotta figure out surface area

basshead: answer the qusetion

SyKo13: area=pi x r^2

SyKo13: 3.14 x 81

SyKo13: 254.34 sq in of area for 1 18

SyKo13: 1 12 has 113.04

SyKo13: so 1 18 would pwn 2 12s

SyKo13: almost close to 3 12s

SyKo13: 3 xxx's vs 1 xxx is gonna have 3 times the power

SyKo13: so ima ****head according to some, interesting

basshead: fa sho

basshead: car audio is my life and i wont let someone like you tell me or anyone else on here YOUR bullshit

SyKo13: calling people ****heads whn you cant seem to get shit straight?

basshead: back it up and then come wit it

SyKo13: i backed upo my point

SyKo13: seems like you didnt

basshead: thats what im talking about

scratchy: 18s can handle more power than 12's

basshead: even if they have the same coil

basshead: now you do understand what i was talking about 1 18xxx v 3 12's xxx's and the 18 is powered to its max but also the 12's are powered to their max

Told him I was a douche, I was everything he was thinking I was n to PM me n that I knew wat I was talkin about n to have a goodnight

Regal8r helped a lot there;)

So who's right??

P.S "Basshead" owns a shop

 
um, surface area or not. 3 12"s can outperform a single 18. and vice versa.

Was from another forum

Seriously, why cant I just take this trip? is it really meant for me not to go down there? Stuff just keeps popping up this weekend. I cant believe it.

Morning:wave:

 
Why not

You're not supossed 2 go down there
because that's the surface area of a circle and not a subwoofer cone. when you use that formula you are assuming the cone is completly flat, but when it bows in, that creates more area, and plus different manufactors will have slightly different cone areas. in the TS paramaters you can find cone area

also when you do 12 inches, that also includes the surround and the outer frame of the basket
