Mixing sub sizes?

Why would you laugh at 2 DC LEVEL 4 10s?? I'm not mixing the subs.....

I was under the impression that you wanted to mix a pair of 10"s and a pair of 15"s. At least that's what this stupid *** thread is about...

It's superfluous, and ignorant. If you like midbass, get some midbass drivers, NOT subs.

Should due to more cone area....but do you have the space for 4 10's? You'd be better off running a single 15 in the proper enclosure than choking 4 10's. I don't know how much space lvl 4's require, but just make sure you give them their space.

He never said 4 10's. He said (2) DC level 4 10's. In this scenario, 2 10's does not have more cone area than 1 15".

2 10's = 157.08 inches^2

1 15 = 176.71 inches^2

This is assuming that the diameter is really this size. It usually isn't even close due to the huge surrounds we have but this is a rough estimation.

el oh el........subs for midbass........... incredible how people think that the size of a sub determines its use.

When you calcuate cone area or displacement you utilize the spec known as Sd...

10" = 310 cm^2 *2 = 620cm^2

15" = 810cm^2

So the 15" is a better choice, assuming the same subwoofer line.

Never saw the 15''s, i do remember some 10'' tri-axials. I even had a guy that wanted me to install some in his doors, lol.
