[QUOTE="Termlab, post: 616611, member: 555667"] people fall into the whole "more cone area is louder" idea. which to me is pretty false. so if you have 500 subs with 1 watt going to each, is that going to be louder than 1 sub with 500 watts by itself?? this is a theoretical situation please dont answer. but myself i would rather power the 1 woofer properly to get the output needed. this is one of those questions where you need to be more specific. certian subwoofers if having the same size coils in all sizes (take memphis for example). if you have 8 10's you have double the VOICE coils and nearly the same amount of cone area. so if you are going to run alot of power i'd recommend the 10's. but if you are only running around the RMS of the 15's then use that. this truely is install dependant. but if the coil size changes through the sizes (something like kicker does) where the 10's dont hold nearly as much power as the 15's, i'd take the 15's. this is my opinion on the subject [/QUOTE]
