AUDIOADDICT02 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 "What would be louder" Threads arent really kosher here. But to give you unbiased, and factual input, I will tell you this. No one knows. No one can know without actually testing the 2 options in your car with your chosen equipment. I can tell you that mathematically, the 15" on 5000w has more POTENTIAL to be loud. But factors such as box design, woofer design, cabin space, and the woofer's ability to use that amount of power (not just absorb it) all comes into play. And what is the goal? Just SPL, or Music too? Because you arent gonna play daily music on 5000w per sub, not for long anyway. I know exactly what you mean, but I haven't had many high-powered systems or much money to spend to test both options out and was pretty much asking if more power would be louder than more cone area for system planning...
