[QUOTE="wagz, post: 648447, member: 549081"] you ideally gain 3db when you double displacement in the system, so if the brahma had twice as much xmax (which it doesnt), or if you switched from a sealed box to a ported box you would gain 3db (ideally). the brahama will sound better, get louder, and take more watts...if its worth the price of roughtly 3 tempists i dunno ive never heard a brahma 15" befor...the 12" i have heard was amazing but over all thats your call, ive heard the tempest sound great in an extreemly large box (9.2"cuft) with very little watts too both of thoes subs are great when used properly but understand too that it doesnt help you really one bit for us to tell you whats better with db's and hz graphs unless you actually know what that sounds like, you may know the math #'s behind it but if i said that the tempist was 3db down on the brahama at 1watt @ 30hz (i made these #'s up as an example)...this should mean nothing to you because you dont know what that sounds like. and keep in mind db's are almost completley dependent on the box when your talking quality subs, the only way compair them is to graph the db's to hz's @ 1watt in free air...which again doesnt help you but know IF you heard them togeather that most people would agree that the the brahma is better in every way except it will take more watts and costs more [/QUOTE]
