Another, "which will be louder" thread. Simple ? though

[dkc62 10+ year member]

I'm just wondering, thats all.

Which would be louder? One 15 ported or two 15's sealed. Same sub and the single would be getting 1000w and the two 15's would be getting 500w a piece.

I have room for both set ups and the mdf is sitting in my garage.

I'm calling the 2 15s, but I say you get another amp.

Depends on the ported box design...

The single ported sub could easily get louder.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Two subs are better than one but I never had a ported enclosure so I don't know how much the difference would be. What about the amps?

34Hz

uh should be the same theoritically(sp?). but I would say the ported 15 has the ability to get louder and if done right can sound just as good.

tuning freq doesnt matter as far as whats louder. its in port area box size and other things liek box placement. what car sub and port placement on the box lots of different things.

34Hz

size matters too... do yourself a favor and download winISD...

You can graph out both options and see how they compare in general.

True^^^^(blunt). I believe you'll be happier with 2 15" sealed though, you'll get your loudness and have a nice flat response with a solid low extension. Plus, if you ever decide to go ported, it's like 40 bucks to build a box.

Well my maximum area can be 4 cubic ft. Jellyfish420 is helping me with box plans and he seems to know what he's doing. I only asked the question because I would hate for him to waist his time if two 15's sealed would get louder.

Thank you guys for all the quick replies.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I've tried winISD before but I can't really understand what I'm looking at. I know, call me dumb but some things I'm smart at and some things I'm not.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Just because he'll have twice the subs doesnt mean it will be louder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.
