One Subwoofer that pushes 1500 rms watts or 2 Subwoofers 800 rms watts each?

LOL. BTL sounds like wet ***.
JBL is actually a highly regarded SQ sub. All the others listed have far too stiff suspension to be particularly musical.

Out of the ones listed I gave my opinion. Every JBL GTi MKii I have heard sounded like ***.

If Jesse gave me his BTL it'd be louder and sound better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif
Speaking of manly subs, I think you'll like how this xcon sounds. Between a big kerfed port, large volume and low tuning, it gets down.

X-Con I'd have high hopes for. Good build quality, adequate motor force, and soft enough suspension that it should actually sound decent.

If you think BTL sounds good, then yeah, GTi MKii would probably not be your thing. If you want all your bass notes to sound like 45hz stick to the woofers with suspension you can't move pushing with both hands.

Oh I get what your saying. I really don't think any of the subs he listed will be good for SQ. SQ and SPL subs usually don't mix. I would look more at Image Dynamics IDMAX for SQ myself.

The suspension isn't actually that soft at all. I got the sub used LNIB (it had been used only for a few hours) and it was very hard to push it in much. I can get close to bottoming it out but that's only cause I'm running my 2200 on it wide open and the box is 7 cubes. Either way, this xcon blows the hdc3 out of the water in every aspect I can think of, even loudness. I need to fix my roof and door panels because they flex too much on the lows lol.

They are soft compared to AQ, DD, Nightshade, BTL, etc.

True but you are comparing a sub with a 3" 4 layer coil to something like a nightshade that is designed to handle way more power...play fair here lol

In theory, two subwoofers on 800watts each will be louder than one identical subwoofer on 1600watts (assuming it can handle it) by about 3dB. This is because in the former case you have twice as much cone area. But then, a sub that handles 1600watts probably costs scary money.

Thats what i was looking for , which would be louder. One 1500 watt subwoofer , or 2 say 750 watt subwoofer.

Box design matters way more than power handling. You could have set-ups that were exactly identical except the box and each one would sound and meter differently.

 

[ElOsito 10+ year member]

Yeah always heard the box kinda mattered more. So whats a good sound quality subwoofer? Everybody has different opinions , some say this , and then others talk down on it , back n forth. Im looking for say JL w 7 sound quality , or type r sound quality , not those subwoofers , but something that sounds as good , and or better? Xcons any good? Anyone have them or heard them in real life before?

I personally think single-sub setups are easier to deal with and, tuned properly, will sound better than 2 subs with the same RMS.

You should prob just buy my death penalty 12
