[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 2658870, member: 573988"] exactly you just said the same thing i said in more words... that PUNCHY sound comes more from 10's because they emphasize middbase... and geting lower sub frequencies out of them requires crossover settings to make them play lower frequencies... but i'm not doing that... i'm letting them over emphasise middbase and letting the big one over emphasize the sub bass... the 10's play what they are most comforatable with and letting the big one handle what it's more comforatable with... 80- 90 hertz from a 13 would sound like **** at least not be very loud at all... but from a 10 it can hit the range decently(not great... but decently) i don't think anyone would argue against the fact that a 10 is better suited for higher frequencies than a 13 also as far as sound goes there might not be much difference but in air movement there is... because a sound wave is only how the air is moving in the car... you get a different "feel" of the sound comeing from the subs... for example i can almost allways without seeing the setup tell what size subs there are in the car between 10's and 15's and that has nothing to do with spl because there is a car up the road that hit 144 with 2 10's, reguardless the 10's soundwaves are different than the 13's the best way i can explain it is that... your getting one large sound wave from a large sub as opposed to many small waves from smaller subs... to get the same amount of spl... i really discovered this to be true when i heard 2 systems one with 3 10's the other with 1 15... we adjusted them to the same spl and set a glass of water on them both the one with the 15 had the water jumping much more than the one with the 10's... i understand that the test isn't exactly scientific since they were diff cars but they were still similar... an explorer and a gmc jimmy [/QUOTE]
