reconing 2 ns 12's to 15 basket and recone

[drapedupDTS 0]

currently i have 2 12 nightshades in right now, and when the big sale on the 12's were going on a few months ago, i paid for two and put 200 down for 2 more when i was looking at getting a bigger car...

my question is would i be louder with maybe buying another 1500d and pay the remaining 85 to take one sub or put the money towards upgrading them to 15 baskets .

so....

3 12 ns on 3 1500's or 2 15 ns on 2 1500d's(also i really like the sound of 15's) my last set up was a btl 15 on 2 1500ds in a chambered t-line and that set up equally if not more louder than this set. current 12's are in a 4.4 cube @ 35 hz.

when the decision is made, pete will be building my box, always wanted one of his designs...

The size of the sub has nothing to do with how it sounds fyi.

It would be hard to say which would be louder. A lot will depend on your vehicle, your box, and your power. Two 15's would be more surface than 3 12's so I would probably opt. for the 15's however the extra power with the 12's may equal them out. Either way for a daily set up I would go 15's.

I went from 2 Ns 12's and 2 1500's to 2 Ns 15's and 2 1500's. I'll let you know how it sounds by the end of the week.

By the way 3 12's and 2 15's are pretty much the same exact cone area. The only difference would be more power on the 12's and would probably be louder.

i was thinking that as well... and i can probaly recone for a total of 200-250 than rather find another old stock ns, buy another 1500d which would be tough to find a stock shade. A++++++++ products none the less!!! the car im runnin in is a 2002 cadillac deville, nice sized trunk, just need to give it some thought on placement and using the space i have to my advantage (2 dekas, 2 1500ds, new amp rack, and a new battery box).

hey Nightshade what enclosure you running?

by the way... Sundown has the BEST ustomer service that i have had the pleasure to deal with! Keep that up and i'll be beatin until im 80 haha

just a correction to my previous post.... reason that it wasnt sounding right is that one of my speaker wires slipped out... popped it back in and 10x louder!!!!! this setup is louder than my 1 15 BTL.... thanks.

The differnce in cone between 3 12's and two 15's is small but the 15's will have more surface. I would say the power would probably even them out if not make the 12's louder. However two woofers will be a lot easier to deal with.

true... even thogh my 12s are pretty loud as it is.... i still may go that route.
