[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7289618, member: 622908"] Never was I talking about SQ (well in an indirect way yes because anything related to the sound of it would be SQ) I'm only speaking of the timing in which the note is supposed to come in and when the subs actually produce it. Smaller subs 'keep up' with metal better. Its a fact. If you want to build a box to make an 18 do metal, it's a considerably smaller box than optimal for other types of music. Goes under the same token as how 15s and 18s get lower in recommended boxes than 8s, 10s or 12s. Longer throw, lower fs, conducive to low end, not to double kicks in the mid 40s. I'll agree with you that the install has a great percentage to do with this, but then again every sub doesn't fit every application. My point is, if you like metal, you probably like a smaller cone sub. Why build a pair of 18s to play this type of music when they are better suited for other types of applications. [/QUOTE]
