2 subs, more cone area

well 2 of the same size subs would be louder, as long as the enclosure is adequate. u aint workin with much power

cone area wins this one bro

So even though the two subs are each recieving less watts rms than the one sub, the cone area alone increases the spl/decibel output?

This makes me rethink alot of stuff.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Like Corey said it depends on a lot but for a general answer cone area will win here
