When is a speaker too damned big?

[Testosterone boy]

I had about 1400 watts blowng through some dual 18's today.

Tripped the circuit breaker on a pro DJ multi outlet.

Seemed quiet enough until I stepped a 100 yards away. Seemed louder then.

I think it is distortion that gives music the aura of loudness.

You can crank clean sound.

i've installed 10's that bang tighter and harder than a 15 year old asian prostitute

Huge sound takes huge speakers. Especially if you like the bass.

theyre only ever too big if they start looking ugly and/or you have nowhere to put them and/or you have to move them around a lot

10's just sound tighter and meaner to me than 12's and larger.

Limit the input frequency with steep crossovers, give the amp constant and steady juice via a cap and separate battery, reinforce the box with resin and stuffing...you can squeeze some seriously siiiiick bass from a 10.

18's are only for competitions, utter junk noise.

wait, you're taking about home and stage systems? lol.

I'm talking about car audio maing

10's are definately tighter, I lke them for house etc,but 12's for hip hop

HUH?

I want the glass panel speakers cause they look cool. Heard it is the cleanest sound too.

I have 5 Paradigms in my living room that beg to differ with you.

Clean power (amp) with efficient quality speakers will produce loudness. (Before considering room placement,wiring,knowledge.)

I have a set of the first ones for rear fill and a set of the second (to the left) for front fill. I woulnt consider them "huge"
