The 15" should be louder in theory, by the way.

I don't think that's a concern. I'm a little confused too. Build the enclosure larger and tune lower for better low end. But what do you mean by "low end?"

That's because I'm not positive on my response. Based on Impious's response, I believe mine makes sense.

IF the wall is built correctly it should be much louder. Consider the amount of space remaining in the vehicle when you're dealing with a ported box vs a wall.

My choice fell on a RE XXX-18... The RL-p 18's wasn't in stock at that time, and I had a chance to try something new at a reasonable price. You could have tried the ssa xcon 18" ! Would have been my vote.

I would guess that the lower the frequency the less chance of beaming you have. Bass is omnidirectional, so you really never have to consider off axis response on those (EDIT: subwoofers). Where as tweeters, it's a huge concern when choosing them.

^^..It's going to vary from vehicle to vehicle.

So where are these nudes?

So were are these nudes?

Working at a video store, I get to hear about a lot. There is this company called Asylum who copies other peoples movies and makes AWFUL knockoffs. Transformers to Transmorphers. I am Legend to I am Omega. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea to 30,000 Leagues under the Sea. The list goes on and on. By far the worst pieces of cinema in existence.

The Q's can get loud, in my opinion. But if you're shopping for "loud" go to the BL line. As far as 'which is louder'...who knows?

Woah.

I have no input on this, but rather want to know why they recommend that.

LOL. Good luck!

I agree with this statement 100%. I usually use pliers to 'break' the joint apart. I stick the wire in and fold one side down really well, and then over lay the second side. I then solder the tip just to make it look pretty.

Here's a question I have. Why couldn't he plug like 500 watts into the little formula for setting the gains. Wouldn't that yield the voltage at which he would only be putting out 500 watts?

No ones saying you have to use the full 1200watts either...

Just remember that if you push this one too far, it too will fry.

I'll be purchasing a Dcon in about a month.

If I were in your shoes, I would save for a while longer and buy 1 BL (knowing you want two in the future). Buy the d1 coil option and run it at 2 ohms for now. Upgrade to your 2nd BL down the line. But that's just logical thinking.

I wasn't too impressed. It was alright, but a bit far-fetched. Wouldn't pay to watch it in theaters, or own it, but would definitely rent it.

That's a very unfortunate myth in car audio. A quality speaker will play at the same 'speed.' If there is a difference, it's immeasurable or negligible. Say you have 500w on a 12, then a 15, and 18, assuming the box is build to spec, the more cone area you have the louder. So it's really on how much space you want to give up, and what you can fit.

What type of music do you listen to, and what's your budget?
