[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 7099615, member: 560148"] I think my point went over your head. I'm comparing a setup that can play super loud for a few minutes to one that can do it all day, regardless of how they got there. Less power per woofer and increased cone are has it's advantages, regardless of whether they meter similarly. Lasty, bandwidth counts when playing music and a termlab wont' show you that. Just a single 12 ported wont' be "as loud" as 2 of the same subs sealed, at least not over a broad range. It may meter the same or higher,but it's a trade of bandwidth for effeciency. A second sub simply gains effeciency and keeps bandwidth constant. The only disadvantage to adding the second sub is cost. If you can afford it and fit it is the better option by far. Systems are more than the sum of their parts.... An array of $5 drivers can easily sound better and get louder than a pair of very expensive speakers. There is ALOT to be said for maximizing effeciency and reducing excursion and power relation distortion [/QUOTE]
