12's vs 15's

I like to see if I can get this cleared up by people that know more than me. I was told some time ago that 10's and 12's were better than 15's because they respond faster and wouldn't get the same output. How wrong or right is this

It's mostly wrong. There a lot of things that affect how a sub sounds. Sub diameter is pretty far down that list.

I believed the same thing till i got on the forum. Subwoofer construction and parameters will have more value on how well the sub plays along with the box design. U can have some low end subs (like myself) and have a good custom made box and they will sound ok.

4 12's should be louder due to more cone area and more motor force

Never said how many 15s he wanted to run though here's a chart that lists cone area based on number and size of woofers

Can't go wrong with the hdc series. I have a hdc315 on 2300wrms and it absolutely wrecks up my durango. Personally I say it's worth the piece of mind you upgrade to the hdc4 if you're running over 2k per woofer. Though my hdc3 takes the 2300 like nothing I just can't help but wonder if the hdc4 would has been a significant upgrade especially for only a hundred more.
