[QUOTE="ARSkemp, post: 4505434, member: 575016"] So you have 2 12's subs 750 watts to a 12"(113 ft^2) 750 watts to the other (113ft^2) when you add them together you add the power and the cone area? I'm just a little confused as to why that is. When more power is added the cone will have a higher excursion, right? So say the sub we are talking about moves out [B]1 inch[/B] when given 750 watts. It should not matter what size the sub is, they all have the same excursion limitations. So with 2 12's (each getting 750w) their is a total of 226^2 moving out 1 inch, correct? Now say their is a sub size that is equal to 226^2 (17 inch sub?). This 17" sub is fed 750 watts, so it should also have an excursion of 1 inch. With the 2 12's, a total of 226^2 is moving 1 inch With the 1 17", a total of 226^2 is moving 1 inch shouldn't they be equal in output? I'm still kind of confused on why when you have multiple subs you increase both power and area. if you add both power and area the 226^2 from the 12's is getting 1500watts and the 226^2 from the 17" is getting 750watts, which doesn't make since to me if the same amount of cone area is moving the same distance.
