jcnash71 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 So just a quick question for you guys, how much of a difference would there be if i got a second sa 12? Loudness? Would it play lows better? Help me out ?
Tecomah Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Probably be a good bit louder since your doubling everything. I don't see how it would make it play Lows better except that they will obviously be louder since you are getting double the cone area. Sorry if that is confusing to read I am dead tired 750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.^ DON'T BE A DICK LIKE THIS GUY Team Subsonic Lows
Amart88 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Double the cone area will be louder. The lows all depend on your enclosure. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.
Anand Sayroo Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 It'll get louder but remember when you can a second speaker you're not getting 100% more you're only getting an additional 50%. You won't double your loudness and the lows will depend on how you tune your enclosure. Hope that helps!
jarrius Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 as they said above it all depends on the box. if it is right then yes louder and lower IF it is build right. as of cone area they say it is king I say it depends on the box,amp and electrical of the car. 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
pioneerforlife Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 you would notice a significant difference if you got a second 12. you would notice an even bigger difference if you doubled your power. As far as playing lows, i would get a custom box. you could have a cheap sub in a custom box that would sound better than the most expensive sub in the world, in a cheap box. prefab boxes are generally tuned high. you can have someone design and build a box for you, or you could design and build your own. for a beginner at building boxes, you can use the RE box calculator. it is pretty accurate and it gives you a cut sheet. if you added a 2nd sub, doubled the power, and got a custom box, you would notice a world of difference with your system. 2007 Ford Focus SES Hatchback Pioneer HU 4 Digital Designs 9515i's in a B pillar. 2 Soundstream XXX 15K's (running at 16 volts) Soundstream Mids/Highs in custom door panels (getting rebuilt soon) Soundstream TA2.160 and TA2.400 Sky High and KNU wiring 3 Banks of Maxwell caps Winston Lithium (not a fan) Bump4Life 250 Amp Alt. aka USAlternators Soundstream Focus and Avenger Build Log Instagram @p4linnovation YouTube: Team Blowin Loud

Help me out Yes, doubling power and cone area together, all other things being equal can improve your loudness but you may have to change the spec of the box if you want for example deeper bass.
Karkov Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Personally It seems like if 1 sub is 1x loud, 2 subs seems like it's 3x loud. Not saying it is just seems like it, lol.

jarrius Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Never use the re box calculator they have proven that it is wrong 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
pioneerforlife Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Never use the re box calculator they have proven that it is wrong I built my first box using the RE box calculator and it sounded a lot better than any Prefab box I could have bought. I am not saying it is the best option because it does not take account for the parameters of your driver but it is better than a prefab enclosure. 2007 Ford Focus SES Hatchback Pioneer HU 4 Digital Designs 9515i's in a B pillar. 2 Soundstream XXX 15K's (running at 16 volts) Soundstream Mids/Highs in custom door panels (getting rebuilt soon) Soundstream TA2.160 and TA2.400 Sky High and KNU wiring 3 Banks of Maxwell caps Winston Lithium (not a fan) Bump4Life 250 Amp Alt. aka USAlternators Soundstream Focus and Avenger Build Log Instagram @p4linnovation YouTube: Team Blowin Loud
