one 15" ported vs. two sealed

[fritosaregood]

ive got some personal experience with this

I have two audiopulse axis 15's,

I had them in a sealed box on 3k and it sounded great, and the lows where awesome

Now i have 1 in a ported box to 30 hz, and its a little better

on the meter it was about 2 db or 3 db higher at the peak freq (45hz)

and the lows. at 22hz the sealed box did a 139.5 i think

and the ported box at 22 hz did a 139.9 should do about a 141 now with the tweakin i did.

i was doing 149s with my setup in a ported box tuned to 35, peak in car was 42hz or so... now with my sealed box my peak freq is 32hz *that did a 143 or 144 i cant remember* and did a 138 @ 20hz :x

Why not 2 12s ported? More cone area than as single 15, a smaller box than a pair of 15s ported (since it wont fit that way), and the ability to run more power than your single 15 setup (depending on what you have/buy). A pair of 12s ported has alot of potential.
