Also the other guy has more displacement with his 4 tens, due to greater combined excursion and surface area, as well as probably equal or more power total. the vehicle acoustics will play a part as well. |

I personally am more fond of SQ in car audio than SPL, so I wouldn't have liked that guys system as much. You can get something to pound pretty easily in terms of SPL for pretty cheap if you want. SQ you have to pay for usually. |
