Kdub26 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 im going to try my best to not make this a VS thread. i am trying to figure out what subs to purchase next. i know that a square sub has more surface area that a round sub at the same size. my delima is if i should go with 4 10" round subs or 2 12" square subs. my question is that does the 2 12" square subs have more surface area that the 4 10" subs? im not asking anyone to pick which one they would prefer. or if someone can give me a basic math rundown. just trying to come up with a plan. like i said, im trying to not make this a vs thread, not asking anyone to pick, no brand names, just a yes or no if the 2 12" subs have more surface area than the 4 10" subs thanks Quote 1992 Camry "Stormtrooper"Quantum Audio DVD/USB/AUX 3.5" single din H/UXS D690Cadence 0g wiring and Kicker 4g wiring(2) Selenium 6w4p's(2) Selenium ST200'sKicker 200.4 (mids & highs)(1)Kicker and (2)Stinger RCA'sSecondSkin in trunk and doors12K HIDsMulitcolor Angel EyesSoon to be done:Big 3Mechman H/O Altsubs?amp?

SnowDrifter Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I would go with the 4 10s I'm not a fan is square subs for various reasons. But, in the end, it's about what makes YOU happy Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real96SS Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I think the cone area of 4 10's is like 314 and the area of 2 square 12's is like 288.

Kdub26 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 ive never used square subs before, so i figured i would add it to my indecisive decision on what subs to pick.

LZTYBRN Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 They're so close in cone area, it really boils down to what looks best or works best for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdub26 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 They're so close in cone area, it really boils down to what looks best or works best for you. yeah thats what its lookin like. with that close of cone area, i probably wont even be able to tell the difference. but, the brands im looking at, its also coming down to power/motor force. because i can get 2x the power for 4 10's than i can with the 2 12's. and even as i type, im looking at doing 4 12's LOL. but, at least this helps with my knowledge that the 4 10" subs are very close in cone area to the 2 12" square ones Quote 1992 Camry "Stormtrooper"Quantum Audio DVD/USB/AUX 3.5" single din H/UXS D690Cadence 0g wiring and Kicker 4g wiring(2) Selenium 6w4p's(2) Selenium ST200'sKicker 200.4 (mids & highs)(1)Kicker and (2)Stinger RCA'sSecondSkin in trunk and doors12K HIDsMulitcolor Angel EyesSoon to be done:Big 3Mechman H/O Altsubs?amp?
