Ok i have a question. which would be louder.....2x 12" Kicker comps or a single FI SSD 15". wattage the FI has it hands down but wattage means nothing.....I think i want it to move more air so 2x 12" would move more air therefore = LOUDER?


true or false or IM STUPID?

Sensitivity, efficiency, box and power compression will all need to be taken into account (plus environment variables).

first of all, its incorrect say 24'' vs 15'', think back to school, Pi x Radius squared
2x12 = 711 sq in
1x15 = 555 sq in
