I was just wondering how many people had 15's in their trunk and how yall feel about'em. Had any problems with them? I have 2 audiobahn 15's and love it.

 

15's are pretty heavy IMO. Unless you have really high quality 15's... 2 12's will prob beat them anyday. If you're going for clarity, 3 10's will out do 2 12's or 2 15's. But glad you like them.

 

yep, thats true... twelves beats most others ........ to get good 15s u have to spend some extra.....

why would u want 15s anyway, they just gonna rattle up you trunk

 

2 15"s will be pretty power hungry, as well.

BTW- moving this to the Audio subforum.

 

what? how can 3 10s be of better quality than 2 12s just by default?

theres wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too many variables to just claim this.

 

I agree with Brendon. There are way too may options to say one size is better than the other.

 

IMO I love the 12's.. I have had them all...Right now I have 1 12" Kicker L5 couldnt be happier it sounds gr8...But like people have said there is alot of factors to say one is better than the other...Its all personal prefrence...

 

Well I enjoy them, I had 2 12's pushin 750 a piece in a ported box, but I wanted something louder. Where Im from we're all about super loud music and looks

 

12's and 10's can get "super loud" too.

 

15's own all...one 15 is all you need. I have run 2 different 15's in my trunk and I thoroughly enjoy both setups. Ive had 2 10's, 2 12's, then another set of 10's, and 2 different 15's.

 

so going to agree with this one and also they have so much better response time...

 

Funny how I can make a 39lb 15" subwoofer sound tighter than 2 10" woofers...it is all in box design and subwoofer design.

 

hell, some of the loudest setups i've heard are from 8's. true story.

 

SUV's dont count...

 

they were in cars...and trucks.

those DD 8s can really pound...

 

2-12's FTW... all day every day... put em in the right box, and enjoy...

 

1-15>*

I've owned or heard almost everything. It's all in the type of sub and the type of box (mainly the box).

 

very commen misconception that smaller woofers are more acurate than larger. it is 100% depended on the quality of the woofer, the realistate (ie the total cone serface area), power suplied to the woofer, box build, and install. you "can" make 2 8's sound better and louder than a 15. or you could make a 15 sound better than 4 12's all depends.

 

couldn't have said it better myself.

 

here is somebody who gets it.

 

got a 15xxx in my trunk...

wouldn't ask for anything smaller, i love it

 

neither would I

 

Oh how I love the bigger is better and smaller is more accurate threads...

 

yeah, didn't you know that this applies to tv's as well? smaller tv's are clearer...when the tv gets too big (over 60"), the plasma will react slower due to increased molecular mass...

 

You are really correct with your statement. A high quality, large HDTV will show more of the defects in the video signal than a smaller TV will. For example, I can watch standard definition DirecTV on my 55" HDTV. It's an OK picture. Watching it on my 103" projection system is just too painful. I can see compression artifacts all over the screen. I only watch high def or DVD on that system.
