Higher Power Output = Loudness? Can Someone Help Xplain This?


Recommended Posts

Heres the deal...I had 2 RF 12" P1's in a sealed box @ 150 rms each....i got rid of em and now its about to be a 12" kicker L7 w/ 1000 rms running to it in a ported box @ 32 hertz... Just how much more looudness will i have from this new setup, because i will be downgrading from two subs to 1 square.... I'm just having a really hard time understanding ...Is it always more watts = more loudness?

The L7 will be way louder than the two p1's, thats all you need to know.

no its not always more watts. cone area and excursion come in to play too. the L7 will be louder.

A 12" L7 has around the same cone area as a 15" round sub, & you're running 3 & 1/2 times more power RMS to it. It will be LOUDER by quite a lot.
