anybody ever had an 18" sub before? i might be buying a pair of them next week......two kicker comp vr's.............ill be running them off a jbl bp1200. any comments?

only for looks dude, you probably don't have the trunk space to make them sound right, or even in the hz range the songs are recorded at.... and they won't be louder either...... 15s would do more justice, infact 1 15 in the properly ported box would give the most boom that I can think of for any one car trunk

im putting them in a 2001 grand marquis, should be plenty of space, they are in 2 sealed boxes, 4 cubic feet a piece..ill have to see how they sound i guess

those speakers are fuc&^ing awesome I have some and I hit them with 800 watts . They are something else. My box is like 3.95 cubic and is sealed.

 

[ZCmercury]

sweet, what kind of car were they in ?

 

[ls123]

18's and ported don't mix...lol (only my personal opinion). If you have the room, go ported.

I would also look into some other choices (the CompVR's are pretty nice subwoofers, but there are others).

they might not get "as loud" as 15's, but damn can they get low. my buddy had a pair in a little mazda 626 and his steering wheel would jump like 3"!! He had em' in a 7cubic ft box.

im planning 3 15" comp vrs in a sealed box about 3.75 per chamber. opnions?

 

[ZCmercury]

the 15s would work fine im sure.....the reason im looking at the 18s is because im getting a pretty good deal on them used. They are real cheap on ebay too, though...199 for 18, or 177 for a pair of 15s

 

[BuThatsaCHRYSLER]

yeah my freind has 2 15s in his neon with about 2.3 cuft ach and 800watts.......holy shit for a neon THATS NUTS!! hes running 8guage wire has a stock alternator and 2v preouts.

ive already run the 4guage power my deck has 4v preouts a 160amp alt and i think with 3 15s ill be happy.

I have used all kinds of shit 10s 12s 15s & 18's and now i just want to beat the block so i use 2 zeuz 18s and they hit. i know a guy with the kicker 18's and they hit hard as hell.

 

[ZCmercury]

i got the 18s put in yesterday.....they hit very nice and loud, even through my firewall(backseat). the only bad thing is any part that could rattle is rattling right now....ill have to see what i can do for it, but the rattling sounds rather shitty.....

 

[ZCmercury]

this is the only way the boxes would fit in my trunk....with the subs facing outside....
