15" or 2 12"....?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon May 01, 2006 3:19 am

I was wondering on you guys opinion about this. I was thinking about sell my subs for like around $140-160 with the sub box. And just buying a RE Audio SE 15" for $120 shipped. But then i got to thinking and the sub or sub box wouldnt clear the middle seatbelt cover, dont know if i would want it in a ported or sealed box.

and yes dblsg i didnt install my subs yet due to this idea that came to my mind.

theres really no point in getting a 15" sub lol
onl reason is it will reproduce lower bass notes, but the normal human ear doesnt even hear alot of what a 10" and 12" sub can reproduce completely. with two 12" your bass will soudn more even throughout the car, and sound a bit more defined when they hit.

the few cars ive seen running 15" subs just rattle crap and dont do much for noise lol

i agree, i had a 15" niche audio sub, and sold it to get 2 12" niche audio titanium subs cause they are 1) LOUDER by far 2) sound alot better 3) better in my opinion


hope that helps
hmmmmm

I only have one 12", its a TREO SSX sub in a custom box, it hits pretty hard for just being one 12 and will hit alot harder once I get it tuned right.

I have one JL 12w0. Sounds great! Better than the two 10's I had, that's for sure.

hmmm....i think the RE audio SE 15 is going to be sold already. but i can also get a 15" kicker CVR for $150 locally with a box. wondering if i should just keep my 12"s or get a 15". since i mostly listen to rap, i like hard hitting bass.but then again my stock speakers would be holding me back.

A 15" isn't really going to give you anything a decent 12" can't.
