[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8426491, member: 650438"] Real world tests, cone area matters. thats why two 12s will be louder than 1 15. two 10s louder than one 12. A wall of five 8s will be almost equal to a single 18 without requiring as much cubic feet. You have cars going from a 16 cubic feet net wall with 4 15s (706 in ^2) swapped with 16 10s (1256 in ^2) in the exact same wall specs and they gain a large amount of output from the increase cone area and cooling. Multiple smaller subs will almost always be louder if you dont run into phase issues (not a big issue most of the times from the builds i've seen) [/QUOTE]
