Highest SPL for set of 10"s?

[DSMBassL7 10+ year member]

Hey, I was just wondering, what's the loudest anyone has metered w/ a set of 10" subs? I'm thinking of getting rid of my 3 10"s sealed, and getting 2 10"s ported. I'll probably stick w/ kicker solo barics. Just need some input.

I've seen 151. something on the new t/l as a high with 2 10"s.

Yup. Digital Designs 9510.

Anyways, back to the original question; the two ported 10's will likely get slightly louder than the 3 10's sealed (assuming we are talking about the exact same subs).

mtx 6000- dont handle alot of power but get loud as hell

well, it's not the exact same sub. I have 3 Kicker 10" L7s sealed, and I want to switch to 2 Kicker L5s ported. Same PA 1800 Watt Mono Amp, just different subs and enclosure. I'm not sure about it yet, but I really need to switch to a 2 sub setup. Just a quick insert, anyone know where I can find a good deal on 2 Kicker L7 10"s? I'm thinking of selling the three that I have w/ the box for $600 to a friend.

Only sell one sub and keep two.

so I guess the 2 L5 subs won't get nearly as loud when ported?

 

[DSMBassL7 10+ year member]

I have heard the new L5s and they sound louder to me. What do you think, old L7s or new L5s?

 

[DSMBassL7 10+ year member]

or maybe just one 15" L5? I hate being so confused...
