More output with same power?

Watup...I have my 15 RD audio alpha in a 3cf box@34hz...it can get pretty **** loud and low for one speaker but i was wondering if I can get louder with two other setups? 2 15" RE SXs ported@35hz with about 2.5-3cf....or 4 15" Kicker CVRs sealed with 1.5cf each. I making a poll but if u dont think itll be worth it to go the other two routes lmk...btw, i have a bxi2006d....

More cone area tends to do the trick.

I voted for sealed 4 15s as well

But idk, itd be in the ported box design really

Yes, you will be louder with more cone area!!!

The Kickers won't like being in 1.5cf... I'll tell you that now. They like big ported boxes.

i think the ported setup would be better but it's really hard to say b/c you're dealing with twice the cone vs efficiency, well kinda.

yea i was thinkin cone area...but the sx's are capable subs from my experience and they sounded real good to me. Always wanted two. Just under the Rl-p in my opinion...Also i had 2 15" cvrs sealed as my very first real setup off a bx1000d and it was decent loud but I had a 97 sentra. ha I got a SUV now with an open cabin. I was thinking the CVRs because I wouldnt have to shell out the money for a ported box and just take my time and build a solid sealed one for the CVRs.

I see the SXs are taking it so I suppose this was a legitimate question considering the cone area of the CVRs...I know the SXs have a nice BL number as well as xmax, just taking those into consideration. Would the CVRs move more air than the SXs or just be louder...if u know what im sayin.

prolly break even with the 2 sx's and 4 cvrs since the cvrs are in small sealed enclosures which they dont like.

my sx is pretty loud. I like it alot actually.

i would do the 4 cvr's, however, i'd do a compound loaded (x2) ported isobaric
