Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 23:29 GMT Um. This is easy. 4 18s > 2 18s. Do the Q's if you have enough room for a proper sized box.

Friday, May 22, 2009 - 16:47 GMT four 18's spl or not will get down and the sq subs will sound better. Do you have air space to run four 18? if you go to small you will get real peaky

Friday, May 22, 2009 - 22:10 GMT The Btl's have made a mark in spl.. And 4 Q's would be absurd with great SQ. I don't see a reason to knock either choice, admittingly I would go a different route. But that doesn't mean that either setup wouldn't be loud enough for most. I would Definately look into the Sonance. Will be louder than the Q's, sound as good or better, and save quite a bit of space.
