2 btl 12's or 1 18'

[felskee]

if i was gonna put 4 18's might as well put 25 of em in there and a 1.25 million watt amp and have them all at 4 ohm no but really. thats overkill for a kid in highschool.

dual 12's, more motor structure to cool the coils, smaller box. ( or 'could) be)

 

[felskee]

what about the power and bass between these two?

I went from an 18" btl on 2700 watts, to 2 12" sundowns on 1400 watts...They both are good in their own regards..the 18 hit super hard and low, but not quite as quick and clean as the 12s..

the 12s still get plenty low and loud..just dont quite have the "force" of the 18..

But i wanted to save some room in the back, and im very happy with my 12s compared to the 18

Overkill? Whats that?

The real truth is get what you want to have. If you want devastating lows go with the 18 if you want crisp clean bass go with the 12's. Its all about what you are gonna be happy with.
