Alright which would possible be louder and deliever more bass output, 2 12" Pioneer TSW-301R (150rms each) in a 4.6cuft box at 32hz off 400rms.........or........ a Memphis PR15D4 15" sub in a 3cuft 32hz box off of 400rms

the reason I am asking is that I could get this sub from my homeboy but would it be the better trade or not.Which most likely would have more bass output and sound ALOT better the 15" memphis (250rms) or the 2 12" pioneers (150rms EACH) but I am going to be giving 400rms

if its your boy ask him to listen to it first and if you like it better then make the trade.

I really don't want to take time and switch and then switch back so which setup in YOUR OPINION would be louder off 400rms both in ported boxes

I am ask for opinions because the box he has it in is shi*** so I was planning on rebuilding a box for this sub but if it wasn't going to be louder as in BASS then I wasn't going to bother with it

I have no idea and unless anyone else has tested both of those subs in the exact application you are going to be using them in no one will be able to tell you the answer to that.

Joshua, in my opinnion the two 12's would be better for ya....it sounds like you have a pretty nice box and a decent ammount of power gettin to thoes subs. This however is only MY opinnoin so dont blame me if ya dont like it = ). Mabey a bigger amp for thoes 12's if ur looking for more spl. Many variable here tho....

but if you guys was in my position would you make the trade for a Memphis PR15d4 or keep the pioneer TSW-301R.Would the 2 12's hit harder because of surface area compared to a single 15" sub on the same 400rms

and then I can't just trade and see if I like the 15" because it's brand new just in a sh**y box so it wouldn't be a point I would have to build a box for the sub which by then he would have sold it or something

alright james one last question do you think if I build a box and tune it to 32hz just like for the 2 12's I have no would the bass output drastically decrease because cone area

2 12"s=about 20" of cone
1 15"= 15" of cone area

but both are ran on 400rms would there be a notice in decrease output from switching

I am hoping also the 15" would have more LOW extension and a little bit of SQ what you think ?

I don't know about more SQ I have never listened to those subs so I can't comment, but it should have more low end extension. to get surface area you do PI*radius^2 I don't know where you got your surface area from.

but wouldn't 2 12"s naturally have more surface area then a 15" thus leading to more output but only if it is on the same amount of power .......
