[QUOTE="req, post: 608336, member: 555713"] no. more cone area = more sound with the same power 2 would get louder if they were the right subs - also they would have a higher frequency range no. the only way that two speaker can remotely be 'the same speaker' is in an isobarik enclosure. and you might think about one of these if space is a premimum and $$ isnt. real tough to build correctly however. well kicker isnt a bad start. i would recommend [URL="www.reaudio.com"]resonanat engineering eights - RE8[/URL] or [URL="www.adireaudio.com"]adire audio 8" koda midbass[/URL] - i have 2 kodas, and they are great (even though theyve barely seen power and not my box ... yet) i might just install them tonight for shtis and giggles. I will be running these of of either zapco or autotek amps. Wattage to be determined once i figure what subs i will be using. great choices. dont forget to add directed audio, mmats, and viper. they are some great amps that make some very clean power as well. 4 RE8's have proven to get very loud, and get very low. so have 6x9's in a wall. the thing is guy, no matter what speaker you got, it can play a tone at 20hz. but you prolly wont even hear it from a 6.5" midbass too well. but if you stack enuf of the speakers together, then they can create the sound you need. 4 RE8's have proven to do this job in the right PORTED enclosure. i think 4 8's with 150 watts a piece would do you quite nicely. if you could fit a ported box. they would do even nicer. good luck man. oh. RE8's are SVC4 woofers. 2 in parallel wil go to 2 ohms, and 4 in parallel (wired right) will get 1ohm. so your looking at about 600w mono amp, or 300w X2 at 2 ohms. those would be the eaisest to find, and those prolly will be the cheapist [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
