jakephil Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 so im gonna be makin my custom box soon and i just recently thought about this: would i gain a slight advantage if i used 4 8" SQ HDS208's or if i used 2 12" SQ HDS300's? i mean mathematically 4 8"s have more surface area but ive heard that 2 12's hit lower than 4 8's so i dunno. help!
