I'd give the two 12's the edge based on displacement, but barely. Then a little more of the advantage based on sensitivity of 12's over 10's.

Well it all depends on the subs your running and what amps your running them on, also the enclosure plays a big role too. If you had 3 10" W7's up against 2 12" Comp VR's....what do you think the outcome will be? It all depends on the equipment youll be using and the space youll be using it with.

actually, 3 10"s will have more displacement than 2 12". more total volume sweep too!

I think you either need to recalculate, or show me the figures your working with.

Area of a circle=3.14r squared

3 10"s

3.14(5" radius)squared=78.5(3 subs)=235.5 inches squared

2 12"s

3.14(6" radius)squared=113.1(2 subs)=226.2 inches squared

am i missing anything?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif owned by a kid!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Is that the area of a flat circle or did u figure out the area of an actual cone? or doesn't that matter? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif

pretty much what I was going to say, there are to many factors at play to answer the question well

uh..its a flat circle!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif either way..3 10"s will have more displacement

same driver, the 3 tens should have more cone area....

but, three tens versus 2 12;s of the same make and model, will be louder...
