1 15 Re Sx Vs 2 Re Sx 10's

[Clif]

What do you think?

ive been lookin at it for the last hour and cant decide what i wanna do. obviously would do a t-line for either of them. just cant decide if i wanna go with less cone area with less efficiency with more power or go with more cone area, more efficency, with less power.. also would need a bigger box for the one 15. but i think the 2 tens with the higher fs would have a better all around sound. Also the 1 15 is going to be moving way more air, but idk if that will have any kind of diffrence.

"An efficient speaker helps you maximize your available wattage. Believe it or not, a 3 dB increase in speaker sensitivity produces the same audible increase in volume as doubling your amplifier power. So when you're shopping for speakers, it always pays to check the sensitivity spec — especially if you have a lower-powered receiver or amp. "

the tens have about a 5 db lower efficiency then the 15 has. so that right there make wattage even out.

lets debate it.

2 tens here

2 tens here

reason for this?

reason for this?

cone area

[Eric B]

cone area

2 10s is about 1 15...

I vote single 15

[Clif]

cone area

the 2 tens have less cone area then the 1 15? did you read the post?

810cm^2 for 1 15

620cm^2 for 2 10s

oops. yeah sorry jumped the gun! i'm a douche..

[Noobtastic14]

two tens, higher FS and double the coil and heat dispersion

lol

idk what to do i want the 2 tens for many reasons but i think the single 15 would just be better.
