[QUOTE="Bobbytwonames, post: 8877796, member: 675579"] I haven't metered the 12's yet. I'm still tuning the sub amp. I think the 12's are louder. I know it's only 12.5% more cone area but it seems like it's louder to me. They still get plenty low. I always check the lows with the 28 hz. rebassed version of Enter Sandman. The 28 hz. drop gives me an idea of what there doing comparable to the 8's. One thing I've noticed is that my voltage barely moves anymore. Is that because I'm wired to four ohms now? I might add a third SA 12 and wire them to 1.33 ohms. Is 1.23 cubes net enough for the SA 12's? I'm crossed over @ 70 hz. on my headunit right now. I haven't heard these 12's bottom out once on the Enter Sandman song. The 8's would bottom out on that song on a soft clip. I can't really get the 12's to a clipping point. They won't clip with the bass knob all the way up. What does that mean? Should I turn the gain up? I'm sorry this is so long. I know we are on a daily pitch count in here. [/QUOTE]
