18" sub

[lieos]

i know jlaudio, kicker and focal all make an 18" sub with varying power handling and was wondering who else made large subs ie bigger then 15" and what these are like. i want to make a statement and was wandering what i should get and approx how much these would be worth. btw i would also be purchasing a suitble amp
any help would be greatly appreciated thnx

then find an enclosure big enough to house it yet small enough to fit in the trunk of your commodore and still sound good....

the good ol Hiace speaking of which once i saw one and the guy had sectioned off the cabin and had a square kicker sub behind each head-rest i rekon he'd be brain dead by now

why does an 18inch sub mean u make a statement? kicker has 15s that go upto like 15000 peak and 7500rms and it would probably sound better

I think the statement is that he has an 18inch woofer in his car. 15's are common, 18's arent. Its a way to stand out although a show install would be difficult with a 5cuft+ box in the boot.

EDIT: BTW, kicker solobaric L7 15 is only rated at 1000wRMS

and DDs are better

are you sure?

[phat_com]

ok i was wrong but its still a killer sub

[Donnie]

18" subs!!! I didnt even know such things existed!!! Although, in a 'real' world of everyday music loving person's ears, would it make much difference compared to 2x15"s? and...is it really nessesary? I mean, wouldnt the bass drown the rest of the music? just a thought!

peace
