[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1807059, member: 565696"] I X2, install & specific sub > size. There's some 10's that are sloppier than other 18's, and in the wrong kind of box, you could have two 15's that don't hit as hard as 1 12. In fact, i have that going on right now [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] I can't speak for every speaker, but i've learned the hard way, that specific to kicker L7's, the 10's are a great all around sub, fast response, hit wicked high notes, love super high tuning without losing a lot of response. The 12's are the king for competition (SPL and DBdrag) because they're bigger, of course, than the 10's, but they still love high tuning, and meter very well. The 15's on the other hand, are a completely different beast than the other two. They don't lose a TON of SQ over the 12's, if any, but they need to be tuned LOOOOW, as in a jump from 42-45hz for the 12's, to 30-35hz for the 15's...... And they don't meter as high as the 12's or even the 10's, just because of the way they're built, they just don't take charge in the higher, more meter-friendly freq. range. I know you probably weren't even looking at kickers, and think i'm wasting your time, but i'm just trying to say you should figure out what kind of sound you want and go from there. A 10" or 12" from two diff. companies could sound completely different. Someone on here hit 148 or 149 with a single 10, most people don't even hit that with a couple twelves or a 15. So any idea of a price range, or maybe even a speaker? That'll def. help you get your choices narrowed down a lot quicker! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
