Which would be louder??

right now i have 2 boston g5's and i am thinking about getting a single 10 inch orion hcca. I'm not too sure which would be louder and i would like to have some people's opinions on both of these subs. Thanks for the help in advance.

I know for a fact that a Orion HCCA 12 Dual 2 ohm can take one hell of a *** kicking lol..

Right now I am doing some testing with one and it is taking 3500 Watts RMS.

I will be running a XXX6500 on it on the 23rd in Penticton.... The woofer dose get loud.

I cant tell you any Numbers right now.. But I think that the HCCA might be the way to go..

OH it only takes 20min to rebuild.

if power remains unchanged (keeping the same amplifier) more cone area will always be louder. so stick to what you have unless you are going with a bigger amp.

mrp m1000 is 1000 watts at 2 ohms(at 14.4 volts). the audison is 1100 at 1 ohm with a 12 volt.
