2 15s vs 4 15s

[malandrin4o8 10+ year member]

Hello, a friend of mine is looking to build a system. He was wondering what would be louder. Air space is not a problem. He will be powering them with a taramps md5000.1. Will 4 15" 1000 watt rms subs be louder than 2 15" 2000 watt rms subs. 4 15s will have more cone area but will motor force be more as well or will they be the same since they have lower rms?

If you send me your dimensions of the space you have to use, I can tell you what options would be best. I would say 4 15's here, but that's only if they can really fit. Let me know if you'd like a design; I know I can make 4 15's stupid loud and sound very good.

You could do like 4 sa-15's, 4 Fi X 15's, maybe 4 1000 watt XFL 15's, 4 DC Level 3 15's, etc. Let me know man, I can really help you out here figure subs and box and everything.
