2 little 10s vs 1 good 12

[SMS 10+ year member]

Was wondering what would be louder. I will use Fi as an example. 2 Fi X 10s in 1.2 ft3 each chamber or 1 ssd 12 in 2.3 ft3. The 10s would get 500w each and the 12 would get 1000w

Thanks for any help

Not necessarily. The 10's are more cone area. When both put in proper boxes, the 10s should theoretically be louder, but not guaranteed. It's all in application and vehicle.

like they said. it realllly depends on what vechicle and the amount of space you have. The 2 10s will have more cone area. but if you cant build a proper box they wont sound better than a 12 in a proper box

my opinion. 2 10s in a good box probably "better" than 1 12 in a good box
