Do yall think there would be a big sound diff. betweene: 2 12' D9's with 2000w and 2 15' D9's with 2000w if the 15's box was a lil biger? Also is 2000w enough for 2 15's or should i go with a 2500w amp?

the power should be fine....and the you should be able to tell a big difference between the 15s and the 12s...the 15 have more potential to get louder due to a larger cone area

15"s will be louder, but thats a lot of speaker. Are you putting these in an SUV?

jeep grand cherokee. and another question why are dual 2 ohm d9's more expencive than dual 4 ohm d9's?

They shouldn't be... If you want a 1 ohm load on your amp, buy the d4's. If you want a 2 ohm or .5 ohm load on your amp, buy the d2's.

yeah get 2 D4s

I was planing on it, it just struck me as odd that the 2ohm would be higher in price than the 4ohm, and I couldnt think of a reason

15's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Biggar = Bettar in mah book.

And you don't need all that much vehicle for 15's it's just how much room are you willing to give up. I have two 15's in a Lancer... though i have no room left in the trunk and the back seat is soon to be my amp rack.

the 12s may sound better u get more of a ''thump'' the 15s will obviosly be louder but they tend to get sloppy especally if ur listening to rock with the double bass....but 1000 watts to each speaker is more then plenty....rember if u go over the rms wattage u risk blowing the speaker over time and it wont handle it as well

Wrong. I've heard 18's sound great with rock, and gave one hell of a "thump" in the music.
