two lower quality, or one higher quality sub?

[mini-goog 10+ year member]

ok for reference 2x12 type s's or 1x 12" type R ... if i go with one id probably go with 1x15 type-r but i was jw what would be your choice, one better sub or 2x lower quality sub... and would you think this would apply for any brand?

such as 1x MA Audio HK150XC

or 2x

12" 800W Dual 4-Ohm Subwoofer

and if anyone would explain why? and would an amp for 1x 15 or 1x12 or 2x12's cost more?

One higher end subs usually costs less than 2 lower end subs...ive always ran a single 12 and people always ask me how many i got lol

Port the R, and Hop on the bandwagon, but that setup should be nice.

thats the way i always looked at it spend like 200 on a good 12, plus i dont have much room for a pair and needs less power, and less wiring

I would do the single setup simply because it is alot easier to install with wiring and car setup. And you leave more space which is always good. A ported 12 will be really good and most of the time it can be louder than 2 smaller subs.

a single setup is easier to work with your available space and power

i went with a single 12 (still in delivery actually) after blowing my 2 type-s 12's

i've noticed theres just so much more to gain when going with quality over quantity.

that and plus i'm trying a box from tcab which are typically large and i have a small tunk.

1 x $200 sub > 2 x $100 subs > 4 x $50 subs > 8 x $25 subs

With this reasoning, 1/2 x $400 sub > 1 $200 sub? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
