Rules of sound.

3db increase in output=

double the power or double the cone area

two sa-12s on 1000rms will be louder than a 15 on 2000rms

1 15 will have a smaller box than two sa-12s.

honestly. 1 sa 12 can get pretty **** loud. I doubt your getting that full 2000rms out of that amp and you have to deal with rise as well. in the end, you are most likely getting 13-1500 rms at output

This is false. It really depends on the install.. I'd rather have a single 15 on 2000watts then under power two Sa 12s with only 1000watts... 2 12s and 1 15 Isnt to much difference in cone area. Not sure where you get double the cone area 2 12s is like 226" cone area and 1 15 is 176"

Stuck on sundown? I have a really good option in that price range, but it's not Sundown...

you get 3db increase from doubling power or doubling drivers is what im saying. Yes it is install, box, rise, amp, cabin gain, power wire, blah blah dependent but we go from theory and theory states what i said.
