DynOmite Unregistered guest | 3 12's would be louder.. but that sub strongley recommends a sealed box remember that... but yes the 3 12" subs would be louder but then again it depedns on the amps you get.. if your underpowering the 3 12's and powering the 2 15's perfect.. the 2 15's so make sure your watts add up right 1200 watts is too much for both set ups the 3 12's should be 900w rms and the 2 15's should be 600w rms |

DynOmite Unregistered guest | go with Alpind Thumping he's much more knowledgable in this stuff then me, i was told the 3 would be slightly louder but that guy must of been mistaken.. if you want to get the BEST answer call chad from AA and ask him since he did design the subs www.ascendantaudio.com |
