2 12" Q or BL, or 2 10" BTL, or 2 15" SSD ported

I know you guys are going to say, "it all depends on install and amps, and it will be different for every vehicle.." etc. However, all things being equal, and saying that all would be powered atleast to their RMS, but more then likely above that. Which SHOULD get louder, on the mic and to the ear, in a SUV.

I dont have an amp, im selling my current stuff, but in the next few months i want to start shopping. Id really like to get 2 10s or 2 12s, so im just curious to hear what the difference will be. Are we talking 1 DB or 10? Any insight is appreciated.

check the OP, dont have an amp, just trying to figure out what the best way to go would be so i can figure out what amp i need. Also, i knew i shouldnt have put the 15s up there, i really dont want to take up that much room, which is one reason i just got rid of the 15" Q i had.

ssd's would sound real nice , But so would the 12' Bl's. i love mine and think if i had more space to give them they could only get louder

so the 10" BTL wont get loud? will the 2 12 BL get louder then 2 10 BTLs or about the same?

Let me put it this way, i want the system to be loud as hell without sacrificing too much room, so the 10s would be perfect, but i could go with 2 12s if i really wanted too, the 15s are pushing it, i had 1 Q and the fckin box is massive..

BTL's are power hungry. Unless you have 2k rms to each, you won't get as loud as the others. If you have room for the 15's, get either the SSD's or the Q's.

how much of a difference in output will you see if all things are equal, between 2 12" BL and 2 10" BLs?

i had 1 15" then 1 18" then I got 2 10" with all the same amp(opti1400d) and the 2 10" flexed the shit out of the car... but the 18" was loudest on the upper bass freq. and the 15" was the sweetest when speaking of a nice flat response across the whole bass range... it depends on the box design
