Daddy_ Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Posted July 13, 2016 I don't know the specs on those subs you listed but the problem with running two twelve instead of a single 15 is that you will need the power to support them and you may need more port area depending on the power being supplied to them (and of course other factors besides that). I would look up the specs and plot it for you but I'm not at my computer right now and am going to be busy all day but if it still needs to be done tonight I will be more than happy to help.Well if I go with the sundown x15 I'll do it in a 3.5net cubic feet box tuned to 32 hertz with 68 Sq in of port area running off a sundown 1500dAnd if I go with 2 12 sundown sa in a 3.5 cubes net box tuned to 34 hertz with 46.5 port area off a sundown 1500d Both sub setup will be running off the same amp at 1 ohm. Just wondering which one I'll would be best for me. I know the 2 12s should have more output. What are the pros/cons running one overy the other Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200
Triticum Agricolam Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Ok, here is a graph comparing your two options: The green line is the X-15 and the orange line is the two SA-12s. The X-15 does play ever so slightly lower, but that is mostly due to that box being tuned 2 Hz lower.

Joe X Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 The single X15 no doubt, still you will loose output due to the smaller box.
DLHgn Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 The single X15 no doubt, still you will loose output due to the smaller box, with the two X12s the enclosure is almost a joke and you will also be underpowering. Why would the enclosure be a joke?

The box I stated is for 2 12 sundown da not the x Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200
Joe X Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Ok then, the SAs look quite a bit better, the plot factors in average cabin gain (SA12s in red): A little more than 2dB it seems. Here's the X15V1 in 3.5 (in yellow) vs 4.25 (in blue): So 1-2 dB loss to pay for the 0.75 net you can't give.
