not to post dump or anything but i was wondering if you knew anyone around here with a termlab, or any decent db meter. im looking to get my setup metered before i build a new box

I usually go to Creative Acoustics, a shop here that has the new AC mic that they will let you mess with all day for like 20 bucks. There is also a guy over on termpro.com who is close to me who competes with a CRX, who has a termlab mic.

i would tune around 35-38 l7's like high tunings

i'm no expert but i would bet on the 4 12's being alot louder than the single 18.

i think if it was l5's it might be kinda close, but the l7's would blow 1 away for daily driving i think

I would hopes so...........If not Im getting 1 MT 18............

Getting roughly the same power, as you stated, with all that cone area the L7's should destroy the MT.

 

[T3mpest 10+ year member]

yeah, especially if you tune a bit higher, maybe near 40 or so.

You're going to have more than twice the cone area of the one 18" MT.

It's definitely going to be louder with the 4 12"'s

i tuned my box 2 32hz with 1 12" 06 L7 and i think its loud enough. I would like to hear it in a higher tuned box tho.

Of course 4 12'' L7s will be louder then 1 18'' woofer or any 18'' woofer. Just get another MT....it should do the trick. Look around here, and find one really cheap. I think 2 18'' MT could hang with 4 12'' l7 or even be louder. Depends on box design

Like i said in my reply, lots of people will recommend you tune around 32-34hz but just blow that off and tune around 36-39hz, L7s love the higher tuning and that's where they will really shine. My setup sounds amazing, it's extremely accurate, punchy, boomy, gets low, gets high, whatever... it does it all, plus your ears are numb whenever you get out of my car. I just wish I could get my protect mode stuff solved, but it's better, it's more than loud enough at the moment.
