focalrock4life Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 So in the back of my Scion TC hatch, In have enough room for 2 beast 12"s or 1 beast 18" given them the same power, say 4k rms total and their appropriate box, which would you rather have to demo with and move some air?

Vegas Kid Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 i say 2 12s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 2 12s = 24 sq inch of cone 1 18 = 18 sq inch of cone... you see where im going with that? ok in reality 2 12s = 226 sq inch of cone 1 18 = 254 but also factor in box size, and motor strength lets for instance say you are going with 1 lvl 5 18 vs 2 lvl 4 12s i think the lvl 5 would outperform the lvl 4s but 2 XL 12s vs 1 lvl 5, i think the xls would shine... get where im going?

focalrock4life Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 ok, so how about if the subs were identical? just in different sizes? eg. 2 12" Lv 4XL vs 1 18" Lvl 4XL given the same total power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Then you would have near equal cone area, same power, and twice the motor force. So the 12s would outperform.

hdorre Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 2 12" XLs would have less cone area, but more motor force.
