Killfox Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) ive been reading up on this and ive heard it go both ways. they say 12's move more air than 15's but the 15's have fuller deeper bass. ive got a 97 cavalier and have the box sitting on the folded down backseat. I want my car to be really loud and to be heard from a long way away im not really into getting perfect sound from it. i need to know which way to go with it.

Boon Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) What, 12's move more air? News to me... All the 'different subs do different stuff' is complete bullshit if you ask me. Randy's Asstro full of 10's dumps into the 20's and an 18 in the right box is just as punchy as a 10. It's all about the install. Yes they have slightly different Thielle Small Parameters but at the end of the day the box has a way way bigger effect. My advice would be stick with the subs you have and get an amp and box that doesn't suck. Edited May 25, 2009 by Boon Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

monoxide Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 my math may be wrong but 2 12s will have more cone area. 6*6=36 36*2=72 72*3.14=226.08 (2 12s cone area) 7.5*7.5=56.25 56.25*3.14=176.625 (1 15 cone area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftedranger08 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yea 2 12s have more cone area than 1 15, but in your post, you 2 12s vs 15s, not just 1 15.

korey_hofer Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 it all depends on the subs themselves if you ask me if you are talking same subs in 2 different sizes chances are the 15's are going to have a big advantage but my 1 12" moves more air than my 2 15's that used to be in the box Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

Guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 if your talking about the same model subs, different sizes, a single 15 will be louder than a single 12. but if your comparing different subs and different sizes, then they will perform differently. but just for comparison. 2 15's > 2 12's 2 12's > 1 15" 1 18 > 2 12's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
