Ok I have done my system old school with PPI and may take a new direction. This is in my 71 Chevelle convertible. I know I wont be competing with a convertible

Art a404 Doors 1 " and 6.5"
Art a404 Rear fill full range 5.25
PPI 2300AM for the subs 600x2 2 ohms 2 10" subs

Would it be better going to 1 12 at 1200 at 2 ohms (ala A1200)
OR
Would it sound better going to 2 10s at 600 ea at 4 ohms (ala 2 A600s)


Thanks in advance
Andrew

 

assuming same subwoofer brand and model, and proper install...two 10's with 1/2 the power will outperform one 12 with 2x the power. As far as sounding better, I think it can, particularly at or near the amp's power limit as the 2 subs should be able to handle the power much better than a single sub at it's limit. The 2 subs should be louder as well...more cone area + same power= more air being moved.

 

Thanks

Would it be noticeable if it was either 2 ohms or 4 ohms. If it does I will be replacing my 2300am with 2 a600.2s

 

Don't forget a large sub will generally lower. Impedance only matters to match to your amplifiers maximum output.

 

I vote for 2 10s

 

i run a single dvc 12 at 2 ohm of an xtant mono block and i works nearly as good as the 3 10 jl box that i was using before. but i guess it would depend on brand , power , box all kinds of different factors

 

I am torn on this one, as I have ran both 2 10's and 1 15', and I currently run 1 12".
Out of all them I preffer my single TFone 12" over all them. My DD 15'' hit good but running the same power to my 12 I think hammers way better. Not to mention my spl went up using a single 12
sometimes its more about the box then the sub quantity

 

The difference is marginal. Do whatever's easier and cheaper.
