However, this is only a rough reference, as there are unlimited other factors that will affect how loud a sub can get.In general, more cone area at a given xmax means potentially louder, but its not always true.Also, no one can tell you based on a few specs for sure whether one sub will be louder than another, unless they are significantly diffferent.Further, the law of diminishing returns comes into play if you want to get more technical. Two of the same 12 on twice the power as one of them, will never be twice as loud. The gain will be exponentially smaller everytime you are adding more power or more cone area</blockquote>
