4 10" pioneers or 2 12" Type R's for spl

Which would be louder? Thats all I want to know. Either setup would be in the back of an explorer with ported boxes powered by a bxi 1606d. The pioneers would be these http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=6958861.

This has just been in the back of my mind and I really want to know the answer.

Oh yeah I know the pioneers probably won't last too long so keep those comments to yourself. This is just about spl.

um I guess I'm just used to cheap subs. In my mind, I always thought four 10's would own two 12's. Shows what I know.

4 10's that take say 600rms a piece would be louder than 2 12's that take 600rms if your giving them all the power

The Type Rs can take 600RMS each without pausing.. I have a PG Xenon 600 watt on my single 10" Type R in a TCAB box and it slammed.

oh god Type R's would **** on those pioneers. If they were premiers, that's a different story.

But jeez, no fair comparision

 

[Cbass 10+ year member]

very unfair comparison... in this case i would go with the R's like everyone just said.

If you cannot make FOUR tens, any crappy tens, louder than TWO Alpine Type R 12s, that's pathetic.

x2 assuming your smart enough to power everthing correctly the pioneers will kill the Type Rs in SPL ....overall cone area

type rs will sound alot better and last longer

Ummm.... Cone area matters more in sealed setups. Honestly I have heard 2 12's butt hump 4 15's. same power. and the 12's were more musical to top it off. Box and the driver is much more important than the cone area! From those subs I would say the two type r's. BUT recently(yesterday) started to play with one of the pioneer tsw307's and in my 4th order per amount of power the pioneer seems louder. But that may only be true in my box. On standard ported may be a different story

Actually thought of an example. Mr. potts in meca Ran 2 12's in a series bandpass (special box but this still falls under my example) did a 153.4 reality on a lab. I think a 154 legal. Off one orion 2500D. And from the videos I seen it was decently musical and low. Did massive hair tricks with just 2 12's. There again in correct install and driver ...cone area is a very small portion of what matters
