yeah but the Q is the more SQ oriented driver in their line of subs....guess the 18" Q is made to play low...play clear (as opposed to "muddy") and play loud...fully loaded BTL just plain plays f'in loud

^^^ eh....i started with two 10's sealed, then 2 twelves sealed, then 1 15 ported, and now im moving onto 1 18 ported, prolly after that like 4 15's who knows...I CANT STOP ITS AN ADDICTION

What goes up must come down. I was up to a wall of 4 15's, now I am down to a single 10 on 400w. Hell, my frontstage has just about as many watts as my substage. My ears thank me.

I like my 2 12's ported just fine. But, If I could afford it and fit it, yea I would run 18's. 2 18" 06XXX'S FTMFW!

like how badly...im only getting 19 MPG as is right now in my jeep...what could i expect after adding a 18" sub and a 10 cube box?

There won't be a noticeable difference in gas mileage your Jeep. Any difference in gas mileage could easily be made up with slight changes to your driving style.

I wouldn't use an 18" sub, but I am more of a sq guy, I also like subtlety and space as well.

run 18"s if they had the room?

I do, because I have... apparently... MORE than enough room. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Because all 18's sound like shit right?

Seriously thinking about going with an 18" setup next summer when I get the money..

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Never really heard to many 18's. I personnally would never do an 18 now. Maybe back in the day I would. Seems to be the thing to do now. So really dont stick out like a sore thumb anymore.

To me the bigger the woofer is the more it drops the high end of the woofer. I'm not sure why this is but I'm convinced it's true. That said, no. I wouldn't run an 18. I question why I'm putting great effort into installing a 15 atm.
