Posted April 17, 200718 yr Ok im definately going to purchase a BL in the next few weeks.. i will soon enough have a zx1500.1 i was wondering which bl would be louder the 18 or the 15 cause i noticed the rms is the same and the only thing thats different is the size could somebody plz help me.thnx mike
April 18, 200718 yr heh, me too...but seriously, the 18 will be louder if you can get it in a big enough box...
April 18, 200718 yr Author heh, me too...but seriously, the 18 will be louder if you can get it in a big enough box...cause im gonna get the cooling and the flatwind options on either the 18 or 15 idk bc im gonna give it close to 1800 i would say from a zx1500.1. it will be in a blazer xtreme in the future.. so idk if i can fit a big enough box in it next to the spare..i sorta want a 15 cause my friend has a killer box for his 15'' for a type r and i would sorta wanna listen to it first, and with the 18 i couldnt really test it until i made a box ;]
April 18, 200718 yr Author they bolth can and will get LOUD its all in the enclosurethats what i wanna hear. :]my question was basically will the extra cone area on the 18'' make it get louder off the same watts?...cause they all have the same motor correct?...
April 18, 200718 yr I thought I replied but it isn't showing up? Well, I like the 18. I have 2 18s, and am happy. The 18 has more cone area, theoretically making it louder, but install is very important to all aspects of its performance. My vote is 18.
April 18, 200718 yr go we the 18s if you have the space, if not go with the 15s, they will still be loud.
April 18, 200718 yr Agreed with above. 18 in the proper enclosure will be louder than the 15". But it does eat up about twice the space of a 15" to do so...Thanks,Scott
April 18, 200718 yr "thats what i wanna hear. :]"you didnt already know a 15" would get loud, too?yeah, either one will pound.
April 18, 200718 yr Author Agreed with above. 18 in the proper enclosure will be louder than the 15". But it does eat up about twice the space of a 15" to do so...Thanks,Scottyah im not sure if the box for the 18'' would fit in the back of a blazer xtreme cause that dumb spare is right in the back sooo hmm i got some thinking to do. thank guys
