SesameCreeps Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 What will get louder or more bass on a 4000watt amp..... two 12s or a single 15"? So two 12s rated at 2000watt each or one 15 rated around 4000. What you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I would say, as long as you have enough airspace for them, 2 12's would be louder. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, going from two 12"s to two 15"s and doubling the power on each sub too, that would make a very big noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxsonnyxz Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 It will allways depend on several aspects, but I would go for two 12s. Chances are you'll have more cone, more coil to dissapate heat, may or may not be easier to fit. I've done a lot with two 12s.

Backwoods Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Two 12s... Or one 18. I feel like if you have the room for 2 12s that can handle 2k each, you may have enough room for an 18. As far as cone area goes... one 18 > two 12s > one 15 Singer 250amp Alt, Singer PCM bypass harness Titan8 Lithium Underhood safe BCI PWR-S5 Big 3 W/ dual runs of power/ground.

CstrokerV Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Me personally I’d choose by price if the 0ne 15 is cheaper then the other option I’d go one 15 but that’s just my preference at the moment my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So two 12s rated at 2000watt each or one 15 rated around 4000. What you think? Oh, but here's the elephant in the room. It's not even close to as big a deal, as to whether you run two 12"s, one 15", one 18", four 8"s, six 10"s, etc, etc, etc.... What matters 10 X's more, is how these subs are set up. The way they are fed, and of course, the enclosure they are put in. Let me put it this way, I Love my 18" sub. Super clean, digs deeper than shit, but hits kick drums so tightly.... And it's "pretty loud" by my standards. But I know a guy here in Sacramento with a single 12" that is SOOO much louder than my 18" it's rediculous. Maybe not as musical as my setup, but louder than shit ! He says it's the loudest single 12" in Sacramento, and he might be right. He has to be hitting close to 150 dB's with that single 12" ! Rediculous. My point is, It's 95% the setup, and maybe 5% about how many, and how large the subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
