More Power Vs More Cone Area

[chase007 10+ year member]

Sup, Can some one explain the db gain vs more power vs lower power with more cone area.

I am stuck trying to run 1 18 Sundown with 2 sae1200's Or 2 18 sundowns with 1 1200sae's strapped to them each??? What would be louder???

Could have sworn you were told you can't strap 2 1200Ds....... Yet you make a thread about it.

And why would you think 1 Sundown 18 with 2400 watts of power would be better than 2 Sundown 18s with the same amount of power?

my vote is for cone area, but as always install is what matters most

So you've been told. if you did get the maxlink, you are strapping them. So then your question is if 1 18 is better than 2.

Do you really think that 2400 watts into 18s is enough power? I give my AQ 15 2200.

cone area will win majority of the time. running alot of power to one sub you run into issue,. power compression.

but you can get one sub louder than those two dependant on install //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

id personally sell the sundown and get a Audiopipe AP30001D and get my sundown nightshades d2 but thats just me

given the cone area factor it could get quite loud, is your audioque seeing that power after impedance and box rise? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yes it does rated and its two amps under one board, so i honestly don't know about them being strapable.
