I need to know which way to go. 4 Fosgate punch HX2's or 2 Kicker 12L7's

The 4 will obviously hit harder. More surface area. Assuming you have the power to push them all.

I'd go with the L7's....

They would probably have equal or more surface area to the 4 10's and they are just loud as hell anyways....

Push 1000-1300 watts to each, big ported box, they will wang....

the 10's have 26 more cubic inches of surface area. which is less than an 8. i'd go with the L7s just cuz they can handle an assload of power.

Just to throw in my two cents here, but you seem to already be aware that bass is simply cone area time excursion. So having more cone area is a great inherent advantage. Also remember that the farther you force a subwoofer to move, the more its voice coil comes out of alignment and is prone to introduce distortion. The good news is that we typically can't hear anything less that 10% distortion or so the theory goes. Also remember that once you need 10 times the amplifier power to double the volume of any given system. So if you can make the 10" system efficient enough (big box) you should be able to do well. Anyway, my two cents.

Just because you have more cone surface area doesnt mean that its gonna hit harder or be louder, for example, 2 15"s will hit waaayyy harder than 3 10"s, and they have the same surface area

randomco how do you like the A2200HCT

the L7's

They hit so hard
