im ready to upgrade i currently have two kicker 12 inch cvrs in the prefab box and a zx1000.1 running them i was thinking about getting a 18 inch q or bl or two 15's for some reason i haven't been able to see the specs or the price on the bl on my computer so i dont about it. my buget is about $400-$500 dollars and it will be going into a 96 grand marquis ive got 40x30x18" in the trunk and a big opening id just like to be louder and i quess sound good so any help would be greatly apprieciated. ps i accidently posted this in the speaker section to

if i was u i would get a BL. get all the extras u can other than the extream lead. i think. u will have to look up all the extras i forgot what all u can even get.
dual 2ohm v coil
keep ur amp and get the 18!

if u ever r going to compete get the BL if no get the Q
they will both hit the lows GrEaT~! and sound louder. one 18 has more cone area than a pair of 12s.

but a pair of 15s could be great too.
wat kind of 15s were u looking at? the AQsd2.5 15s would be nice for 1000 rms.
if ur going for comps get a pair of 15 AQs

if u want something that sounds great get an 18 Q and tune that baby low!

18 BL love them still sound great if u make a good box.

u need 8cuft for the 18s and like 10 for the 15s. not sure on the 15s though

either way they will be louder than ur 12s and should sound better. the cvrs i have listened to were pretty loud but didn't have the sql.
ur up grading any way u look at it

If you want the loudest setup get the 2 15" BL for SQL. For SQ get the Q

1 18'' has more surface area.. = louder with less power... i once had an 18'' bl and it actually sounded quite nice.. and was very loud..

i also had one 18BL and they do sound good.

if u got 15 BLs... 2 of them. it would pound for spl, but do u have the room for that?
