Emmet Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Can always check how much air the subs move too by a simple calculation (sd) * (xmax * 2) to have a rough guide. But at the end of the day, real world > theory. i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah.. You want this to happen to you? Give decent handshakes people. I was gifted with an innate ability to distribute wholesale ass beatings in a timely and orderly fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 In b 4 lock! assuming they have the same RMS power handling then the 10's but for less space, more simplicity, and possibly the same RMS handling... id go the 2 12's. 4 10's might be louder and cleaner but the problem is, its more things that might fail, and it sounds like they are of lesser quality then your 12's. Also a box design for 2 12's is easier then a box for 4 10's... assuming were talking the ideal box... because less variables.

DustinBolt Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I was just using the 4 10s or 2 12s as an example, I just wanted to know which u would consider as more important 1997 BMW 528i Fi ssd 12 6th order box Build Log- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/144835-rebuild-in-the-bmw-6th-order-time-update-1113/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bre2ts Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 depends on which subs on whether thats one way xmax or combined what kind of power vehicle location so many things to consider Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 would you run 2 12s with say 28mm of excursion or 4 10s with 20mm of ecursion? 2 12s 28mm = 2968 cubic centimeters of displacement 4 10s 20mm = 2640 cubic centimeters of displacement For each option you would need to put whatever power it takes to reach Xmax. You need to make your mind on why you want to do one over the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkolfo4 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Basing your sub decision on Xmax alone is dumb. Good example: RE XXX 12 vs. Fi BTL 12 XXX is almost double Xmax and would not hang with a BTL. Displacement is not the only parameter of a subwoofer. Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.
