more cone or more power

more cone or more power
so i have a single kx1200.1
300rms @ 4 ohm
600rms @ 2 ohm
1200rms @ 1 ohm
i have a single L7 15" that is DVC 2 ohm
i can get a nother L7 15 that is DVC 2 ohm
with one sub i will be at 1 ohm and 1200rms
with two subs i will be at 2 ohm 600 rms
which will be louder?

that 1200.1 is actually rated @ 1440 RMS and it is 1 Ohm stable. (According to Kicker)
If i'm not wrong the 15's are 1000 RMS each
So even if 2 cones are better you will be seriously underpowering them
Giving 600 Watts to 2000 Watt setup will result in a lot of distortion not even mid way in volume opposed to beatting the out of one 15 at 1400 watts
So your best bet would be 2 12" L5's or L7's bridged to 1 Ohm final load ....

actually unless you have that birth sheet for this amp that i got from u the kicker web site says 1320 at one ohm for the first gen of the kx1200.1 also i got a bass **** cable from a JL audio 500/1 and it works 100% thanks again for a super amp

My vote also goes towards more cone area, provided you have enough space for a proper install.
Birthsheets are not representative of the real world. Those numbers are made using a large power supply (read: NO voltage drop) and an constant load, neither of which happens in a car. Sure, it is possible to build an electrical that doesn't drop below 14V, but impedance rise is inevitable.

I vote for more power.
Box and placement are extreamly important though. With same power I can make 1 12 louder than 2 15's with the right box and possition.
If you plan on getting another amp in the near future then get the second 15 and have fun. Otherwize you're better off with 1 15 and build the right box.
