3 10" or 1 18"?

[stephens30228 10+ year member]

I have searche for answers but there are so many variables, I am wondering in a 2005 explorer will 3 10" skars (no bashing here) be louder than 1 18" re MX? I already sold my 18 and bought 2 of the. 10's just hoping I'm not makin a mistake. I thought that 3 10's would have more come area.

(3) x 75sq in = 225

18" is 250sq in.

10's will likely have the motor force advantage though. And usually more coils is a good thing as far as making noise. More power handling as well. Smaller box. Seems like a win-win for the 10's.

Id go with the 18. It's am explorer...why 3 small subs when you could easily do an 18

Alright hopefully it will be better. I just have to find one more 10 to make it the 3 for now.

Cause in the future I plan on doing 3 more to make 6 10's. I'm still new to the audio game so I am still experimenting with different things.

I had six of the skar 12s not too long ago on my dc5k, it was loud, but two 18s could have gotten louder in a smaller box than my 6 12s were in.

Well if I don like them maybe I will try 15's. Like I said just experimenting. I know that I can gain valuable information from y'all but some real life experiences also helps.

2 18s or 4 15s, you have space. use it.

Maybe that's what I will plan next is 4 15" skar vvx. I figured 4 would handle 2400 watts and 6 would handle 3600 so I thought the 6 10" idea was better. ***** that I have already purchased them or I would jump on the 15" idea now.

Yup the 4 15 box in my avatar is awesome

i hate running three subs you can only wire them to 1.33 or 2.33ohms or sumthing like that, id just stick with one 18 yo

I already sold the 18" and bought two 10's lol, trying to sell the 10's and buy 15's.
