Anonymous | Hey my friend and I got into an argument about this: On a strictly SPL level since "He don't give a *explicit word here* about SQ" Which subs will have a better SPL rating. His 2 12" Alpine Type E's in a sealed box powered by an 800 watt mono amp (Audiobahn, ewww). Or my 1 12" X.X.X in a ported box with a 29 hz tuning powered by a JBL 1200.1. Want to settle this once and for all... |

Bronze Member Username: Cb9869Post Number: 19 Registered: Jul-04 | no one can really tell with out it being metered but putting in some of the factors you gave us, the x.x.x. in my opinion will be louder. type of car might give people a better idea as well. Install is everything. |

Anonymous | If anyhting my car is smaller and will have more sound deadening so I WIN! Yay, thanks guys. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 1910 Registered: May-04 | Yes, I've listened to a couple of them. That might look expensive to you, but considering the material quality of the sub and the subs that they compare to, they actually are relatively cheap. Compare them to a W7 and you'll see what I mean. They hit very hard while maintaining excellent SQ. Extremely linear response from them up to full output, meaning you'll still have great SQ when it's really loud. |
