Born_Again Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 This is my first thread here. This is a great site. Here's a question that I've spent a lot of time thinking about. Say I have 4 alternators, 6 batteries, one 15,000 watt amp and 4 subs that can take 10,000 watts a piece. This system would be pushing 15,000 watts through 4 subs. If I have everything the same, but have only two subs, can the two subs sound just as loud as the 4? How about from a block or two away?

Born_Again Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 There are some websites that claim the Soundstream XXX 18" sub is 10,000 watts RMS, but others claim it's only 8,000 watts RMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) First of all, welcome to the forum. Second, there are far too many variables to say for sure. Some guys might be able to pull it off. Likely cone area and motor force will be factors in this. 2X the cone area and motor force on that kind of power would probably be louder. However, your BIGGEST factor is the box built for either combination. Your electrical system, if upgraded that heavily should be able to keep up with either scenarios, so it probably wouldn't be your limiting factor. P.S. Word of warning, you MAY get flamed slightly for this post, but just roll with it and have a good time reading and soaking in as much as you can.

CleanSierra Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Also, being loud from 1-2 blocks away..please don't be that guy that wants a system to be loud, just so he can be heard. There are enough tools out there that want their system loud to be heard by others. Buld your shit for YOU, not to piss people off at a stoplight. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

And there is no 10,000 watt rms sub there lieing to you so being that you think that I'm leaning more to dumbaass As for right now, I'm the wanna be. I hope never to be the dumbass or a-hole. Let me rephrase that. Back when I was 18-25 I was both. Now that I'm 32, I've pretty much outgrown both the dumbass and asshole phase of my life, for the most part.

Kranny Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 planning a system just to be heard from X distance is really, really stupid. i cant really put it any other way. yes theoretically 4 1000w subs can be as loud as 2 2000w subs. is there a chance that it can happen? yes. is there a chance that it wont? yes.
