18? What do you guys think about getting 1 18 inch speaker in a civic?

i thought about putting three twelves but... i aint ever even seen an 18 so i want one lol. I am pretty sure it will fit wit a custom box but idk what yall think?

 

I have a 12 and I never use it to the max. I think anything more is just overkill, let alone 18".

I like to listen to music, not thump thump thump, rattle rattle rattle

 

^ i got to agree with him, think it might be a little big not my style, but if you like it i think you should get them

 

Depending what 18 you used I dont know if you have enough room in the trunk of a civic for a box made big enough for the proper air space needed to push the sub.

My buddy has a single 15 inch DD in his eclipse and just that 15 needs 4 cubes of air space.

 

dang lol ok i will got wit the three twelves than...

and right now i have 1 twelve [infinite dual voice coil 1250w] but i am not able to put any power into it [i have bout 400 watts going into it] because it is only one speaker i know itll blow like the last one lol

even wit the watts i have running it doesn't hit as hard as i like and i don't wanna push it to hit harder or else i start to smell the sub blowing so i just keep it real low

 

and GEE lol thanks for the fast replies guys

 

Are you going to try to compete?

If not I would recommend looking into something a little different if you just are looking to be loud.

I have a single 12 inch Kicker CVX (750rms 1200peak) with a kicker ZX750.1 mono block (rated at 936 watts) and that one 12 pounds hard as ****. I can be heard a good ways away. To each their own but 3 12s and you still lose all your trunk space

 

na no competing ill keep it low enough so i can hear words lol

i listen to lyrical music so words are important but i just want the bass there on those pissed off days where you just need your head rattled lol... and i need to show up my chump friend because he got two twelves now it his lil tercel ha it hits way harder than mine so up i go to 3 twelves ha let the games begin :P

 

and geee 750 rms is pretty beast i love kicker lol

 

You're not going to miss alot of notes, and certain sounds because the sub is so huge, but if your hearts set on it go for it. I found even with my 2-12"(Alpines) non ported I'd still miss a few notes. If your hearts set on it though go for it.

BTW i get my hearing tested on a yearly basis and you will lose hearing. My subs could shake my buddies *** in his house when he was on the 2nd floor sitting on the computer when i was sitting in the middle of the highway waiting to turn into his driveway. I wouldn't even want to see the results with an 18"
