[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8327187, member: 658055"] There are many factors to consider when comparing subs, but the only surefire thing you have to go on is that 2 12"s have a cone area of 226 square inches, while 1 15" has 176". If you stick them in the appropriate boxes on the same power and they're they have the same materials from the same company, the 2 12"s should move more air and be a bit louder. However, there are a ton of other factors to consider, like build quality, power handling, box size and type, motor size, and a spreadsheet of specs I don't fully comprehend. A high end 10" with a proper setup can easily outperform a 15". Jeffdachef's got the right idea. SQ sounds are supposed to be extremely good at the price range, and the HDS300 can take 1200W RMS. One beefy sub in the right sized ported box tuned low should blow away either Kicker configuration. [/QUOTE]
