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 ;]

they bolth can and will get LOUD its all in the enclosure

thats 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?...

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.

go we the 18s if you have the space, if not go with the 15s, they will still be loud.

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

"thats what i wanna hear. :]"

you didnt already know a 15" would get loud, too?

yeah, either one will pound.
