well thje 2 tense would be louder no doubt, but not by a huge amount, its because of more surface area combined lol

1 12 will have better low end extension and if u were gonna put it in a tuned ported box tuned low i would go with the 12. Will be plenty loud with enough power as long as u arent trying to rattle your neighbors houses but 2 10s would have a hard time doing that anyways especially a sub with such a small xmax

hey i have a question but didn't want to start a new thread.....my type x comes in the mail weds. and i have the option of putting it in a 1cu ft sealed, a 1.25cu ft sealed, or a 1.5cu ft ported box. i'd rather have it hit low than LOUD, but i can't find any box specs for alpine subs, and i don't know what the box is tuned for, but i listen to drum&bass a lot and the low end is key

125 plus shipping sub
i used it for a couple months, powered by a Jl 500/1 and in a sealed box, it hasn't been abused and is still in perfect working order. cosmetically it has 1 flaw, part of the rubber stuff on the edge tore (not the surround) when i was takeing it out of the box and my hand slipped. i glued it back down. doesn't affect sub performance at all. not very noticable, i got a pic but it won't let me put it on here, idk why. send me an email and i'll send you the pics if you want
thanks

Everyone seems to like the Atlas 12" sub. Which makes me want to buy them over the Comp VR. So out of the Atlas and Comp VR 12" which is the better sub in SQ and SPL?

most amps are only 4 ohm stable if bridged, so you'll need to get the dual 2 ohm and wire the coils in series for a 4 ohm load

ok but what if i get the 4ohm and not bridge my amp can i just get the wires from the speaker and run them straight to the right side in the postive and negative things

and if im just getting one sub would it be better to bridge it with the 2ohm version or how would i do it?

you'll need to bridge the amp and hook it to the dual 2 ohm version with the coils wires in series.
i don't think hooking each coil with its own channel is a good idea
