[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8267253, member: 655960"] The Kicker subs you're looking at have less xmax (excursion) than a lot of good quality 8s. That translates to not moving a whole lot of air and [I]that[/I] translates to not a lot of SPL. Cone area is NOT king, as the myth goes and mylows10 makes a good point about the 12s. Smaller subs in the proper amount of volume will pretty much always out perform larger subs in too small an air volume. And to boot, if you go with a sub that has at least 16mm of xmax you will have a setup that will be louder and will hit lower than two CVR 15s. Those subs, iirc, have 11mm of xmax... which is less than an inch of peak to peak excursion. By comparison, the CT Sounds Strato 12 v2, the Sundown SA-12 or the AB XFLs mylows10 mentioned will all have ~1.5" of peak to peak excursion. That's a lot of difference in how much air is being moved. [/QUOTE]
