OK here we go, im not new to car audio stuff, actually i know alot about it but im starting over on my car setup. the first question that i need to know is which will hit harder. 1 12" X.X.X or 2 orion 12's H2's. to me i think the orions will hit harder but the x.x.x will sound better. Any inputs will be appreciated

2 orions will hit better - pretty equal sq with the x.x.x

certainly more spl with the 2 subs

there always is more SPL with more subs cuz of the increased surface area, but the xmax of the triple x is quite a bit more...about 7mm more than the h2

i would go with the one 12" triple x just because they are that good and you dont need two of them to get the desired amount of bass...we all know double the surface area only = +3 dB and thats noticable but not really at the same time

you will be absolutely fine and i think surprised at how much one triple X can put out

thanx and another question i heard that the x.x.x's can hit up to 150 possibly. Im upgrading from 3 12" hollywood excursion subs. Each of the subs have 13mm xmax.With three it should should move just as much air as 1 x.x.x if im correct right? Which means that it will be equal bass?

i think the triple x will actually improve your bass overall SQ and SPL

hollywood isnt good stuff really

for the hollywoods they are ok but the whole reason that im looking into the x.x.x because i want a dramatic spl change.Atleast 10db worth. So should i look into 2 x.x.x's for this change. I never got my car metered but from what you guys say that 150 feels like hell, with the excursions i think im hittin 135-140.I wantsomething that will atleast get me to 150. Any suggestions bacon

i would stick with looking at the triple x's..

a 15" triple x would definately give you that increase you're lookin for

and theres almost no difference in the transient response of the 15" triple x and the 12" triple x so dont worry about it having a "slower response"

warren is right...there are a huge amount of super subs to look at..

tdx, brahma, triple x, idmax, w7, 3500 series (dd), 9500 series (dd, not mtx), 9900 series (dd also), type X (alpine), juggernaught, and a few more...

i would definately look into 2 of these subs above, these are top notch subs on the market, i would say the ultimate sub is probably the digital designs 9917, capable of handling over 10,000 w rms and putting out over 160 dB alone

The one sub did 160 db with that much power but with two in a perfectly ported box would normally hit what db with 1000rms going to each? i know it depends on alotta factors but ballpark figures?
