Topic: 2 subs or 1 sub?
If you had 2 good amps, and wanted to be as loud as possible with limited power.... would you do 1 sub with lots O'Power on the 1, or 2 subs with less per sub?? Any results from testing before I start? www.myspace.com/t3audio

2 subs will be louder than 1 on the same total power. The street classes prove that. 4 12s are inherently louder than 2 15s on identicle power.... TEAM GATES || HO-alternator || Florida SPL || DiRtY SoUtH DEAF SqUaD

Say you have two 12" 500 rms sub with 12.5mm xMax being pushed to xmax by 500 watts each . Then another 12" sub(dvc) 1000 watt rms(500 per coil) with 25 or greater xMax . The single 12" DVC will have the same output as the 2 subs .. Yes ? Yes !

No. The 2 12.5mm drivers should be louder due to having 2 motors as opposed 1 motor - if the total displacement is the same and everything else is identicle (which it wouldn't be...)ALL in the install and how well that install uses the car's transfer function to modulate the system's response (which can be predicted) into output (which cannot be predicted)...
