If two identical subwoofer brands of 12's or one 15" sub

were to be thrown into the box (that each were designed for),

Which will actually pound better as a bass system for say a trance/dance

type set up with a RF mono amp pushing 700watts RMS?

Thx,this question's been on my mind for a few weeks now!

No way to tell without building it all and measuring it all.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

2 12 for more cone area.

build a 15 box, put the 15 in it, cut holes for the 12s in the 15 box, put the 12s in the 15 box, and the 12s will act as inter dimensional ports and you'll hit 196 all day long.

Current setup in my 96 Hoe

Hu - Pioneer DEH-80prs.

Amps - (4) Crossfire C5 1700D's, MTX Thunder 5604(mids), PPI Art 300.2 (tweets)

Batts - 4 91ah rear batts, 50ah batt up front.

Subs - 2 Crossfire XSv2 18's

Alt - Singer 330A

Front stage - Random JL & Eclipse mids, Eclipse tweets

If both subs are the same mdl

It will come down power v's cone area

If they are all 1000rms subs idd go with a single on 700

If they are 600rms

Idd probley still go the single if they are a know brand to take ratted+

But if not 2x12

As long as they are both in to spec enclosers of the same type

But for the best set up for you

As we all know 2 cost more then 1 so you can get a better higher end sub if one

Is to draw up what you have available

And pick bassed on Design alone

$$$ of what you have to spend

Then tween the box to suit you new sub or subs

Thanks for the mature responses john253a and alaskan2x5 !!

I was not trying in the least to ask dumb "V.S." questions for this thread,really wanted to know

if using just one dedicated sub with a mono amp would in the real world push more air than two 12's

being just one unit instead of 2 separate units/speakers.
