they take half of their rated power at most. They dont get loud or sound good.

What would sound better and louder 10'' 12" or 15 cause the reason im asking someone told me that the smaller the sub is the louder there are depending on the rms each how true is that

It depends on how much space you have for a box. 15's have more cone area than a 10 or 12, so they would be the loudest if each was in an enclosure to spec

the one in the best enclosure would be the loudest one. If you do a 15 with cramped space in a small crappy box then the 12 in a proper designed custom box will destroy the 15. If you have enough space, the bigger sub will always be louder. Rms is not a measurement of loud, its just how much power the sub can handle. The sub's TS parameters modeled out on WINISD will show you the output potential of each sub on X amount of power. Who ever is giving you this advice is an idiot.

It depends on how much space you are willing sacrifice. If you have the room, a set of 12s in the proper spec'd box, will amaze you.

is going in a 02 Honda crv I don't have the measurements right now but is not much space back there so plus I gunna need a lil trunk space so I guess my best bet is to go with 2 12s and have someone design me the right box

Step back, just say NO to the mofo ..... I just let the smoke out of a mofo 15 with an Mmats D200 the other day. on a perfectly clean signal... that's only 800 watts rms dude .....And I thought the vc was going to short and F my amp up before I could shut it down ....

Then hooked it up to a RF power T1 15, and it took it like a champ ... and it's only rated to take like 600rms ... it's the difference in build quality OP .....

I stand corrected, mofos cant even handle half their RMS ratings LOL!

[/color]wow i assumed the mofo would handle 1000wrms..im running 750 wrms to a single type s in a 3.5 cu ft box with 2 4" aero ports and surprisingly for a 500 watt rms sub ir handles the power. the mofo looks like its

built better than the type s very surprised

Having a big motor and 3 inch coil doesn't mean its a strong motor and coil. Quality and strength of individual parts play a big role, along with the subs cooling.
