Crazy theory?

[Ozzieborne]

Rite...

Ive heard:

15" sub = deep bass, but not very accurate
12" sub = Good allrounder
8" sub = Very punchy and accurate

So in theory, if you was to get a 15", and an 8" sub, you'd have very deep bass that is pretty punchy and accurate........ in otherwords, the perfect system...

True or false?

[TU-Tuning]

not really, as in tunes with fast beats the 15 would still try to keep up and end up shaking the car to shit lol. And in the long bass notes you wouldnt hear the 8".


It might work if you somehow set it up so that each sub only got a certain frequency, but that still wouldnt work too well as you can get fast bass beats at lots of different frequencies

nah mate, i know what your getting at but id say either a 10 or a 12 inch sub to provide good puncy bass and components amped up front, set it all up properly and it will sound the nuts :y:

[brianS]

you try getting 2 different sized subs to work well together.

[djrem]

i used to have a 12" sub.
Fine for long bassy music or slower beats.

Ive now bought a Dual Coil 10" Sub. Havent wired it all up yet but will give you a heads up when i do.

Things sound good in theory but in practice it doesnt always work.
Remember making play doh food? Tastes good but a week off school ;)

[reevesy_vtr]

you could alway have an 8" or a 10" sub playing mid bass. i have seen a few car with that setup.

[marcus2007]

im going to buy an 10 inch sub, most probably alpine, because i have seen some cheap package deals etc..along with the trusty boston s50s up front!

Mixing sub sizes does not work 99999 out of 100000 times.

[MattyJ]

I've got a 12" And that keeps up with dance/DnB

[reevesy_vtr]

Mixing sub sizes does not work 99999 out of 100000 times.

but if ther are set up and playing the correct frequence then there will not be a problem.

[DaveWard]

Its the movement of air that causes the problem. Getting the right enclosure to make it work is extreamly hard. I remember EFMAX playing around with box designs years ago trying to make one work and then giving it up as a bad job. He was the best box designer that the UK has ever had.


If he could not do it I doubt anyone can. If it was that simple the every competition car would run loads of diffrent size subs.

I found 2 x 12" subs to be good all rounders ( Vibe )

[Mark51]

ive got 2 12"'s and they are spot on for what i use them for, which is garage,RnB and dance

[CAL99vts]

10's ftw:y:

[super_moo]

wonder if u could try and get a crossover to work by diverting the frequencys to tight bass long bass?? dunno if it would work

You dont want to mix and match subs.

The box (size and type) is just as important as the sub size mate.

[reevesy_vtr]

if you ever get a chance have a listen to the kicker hummer that has 2 18" subs and uses an 8" sub for mid bass and sounds great set up for sq and spl.

[RS_Matt]

I listen to my Pink Floyd in a JL boxed 10" JL sub. The sub is incredibly efficient so I don't need two big subs or a big amp.
