Bronze Member Username: RovinPost Number: 29 Registered: Jul-05 | RF (2) 12inch P3 = 500rms X 2 = 1000rms RF (1) 15inch T2 = 1000rms Boxes for either sub will be ported to fac specs & space is not a major issue . Want something totally SQL & NOT SPL , from what i gathered from reading this forum is that i should get a better quality sound having 2 subs than just 1 - correct ? . Should also be noticebly louder with 2 P3s due to larger cone surface area & box too , right ? Did notice that a single T2 cost about $150 more than 2 P3s . Please do NOT recommend another brand as i do intend 2 use RF . Need some feedback from the more experienced members who have actually installed these & heard them . Also i need to get an idea at what rms rating generally do a single sub NOT sound too musically accurate eg 800,1000,1200,1500rms - meaning does above these benchmarks makes it a more SPL than SQL sub ??? . I not refering to any particular brand or sub shape ,mind you . ... thanks in advance ! |

Not at all. Sound quality isn't determined by the number of subs you have. |

Bronze Member Username: LegacyaudioCtown, -high- Post Number: 44 Registered: Feb-05 | dave- no offense - but do u even know what ur talking about- at least i gave him an answer- it may not be "the" rule of thumb - but in this case it is-- those 2 RF would outperform the one--based on the fact of surface area of the two subs would outweigh the 1 15in sub he would ahve more air being pushed for louder sound wave resonance-- so yes i think that sound quality is determined by the number of subs in this case- whereas it all depends what kind of subs ur dealing with- which you forgot to mention also y dont u give the kid a tip seeing how you can throw mine out the window? |

Actually, everything I said was correct. Read up and listen sometimes, you might learn something. If YOU knew what you were talking about, you would know that more surface area does not always equal LOUDER. His vehicle and enclosure will have a lot to do with which is louder. I don't like misinformed incorrect information, which is why I correct what I see wrong. I've written in too many threads explaining how every vehicle varies and there is no certainty as to what will be louder! Now, do you even know what you're talking about? I think not. Oh..no offense btw. |

Silver Member Username: Dominirica012Charlotte, North Carolina US Post Number: 298 Registered: May-05 | get the single T2 ive heard the T1 and it sounds way better in my opinion than the P3s and the T2 should be better than the T1 also this makes it more simple |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2548 Registered: Jan-05 | I'd go with the T2. You're not actually losing that much more surface area over the 2 12's, and sense they'll have the same amount of power, no real difference there either. The Power line is a better line than the Punch... period. Just make sure to put it in a nice well-built ported box, and it should pound. |

water Unregistered guest | The 12'' T1s aint bad but The 15'' T2s are out of this world Punch I hate, I heard the P2s and P3s I would go with the T2 15 and when you get more money add another |
|
xdrummer03 Unregistered guest | If your taking the same brand subs,then i would take 2 over 1 as well.Just cause you get a more solid hit.Unlike 1 sub thats trying to pump all the base. One 15 would be nice if you have everything in you car powered.If everything is powered get a 15.If you dont get the two 12's. Me personally being a Fosgate Dealer i would rather have 2 p3's. |

Watts Unregistered guest | At what price can you let go a t30001bd amp? |

Bronze Member Username: RovinPost Number: 32 Registered: Jul-05 | Why would a single 15' pound harder than 2 12s ??? - THEY ARE THE SAME BRAND & = SAME RMS .All of you who said that have you actually tried/done it ???. All variables like type of car , interior , electronics to ower them etc ARE THE EXACT SAME so that's not an issue . Would the top 10 post guys give me an experienced tried & true answer - like GLASSWOLF , JONATHAN , ISAAC etc |

If they were the same sub, and you had the right amount of space to house 2 12's ported, then sure the 12's should get louder. Is that what you were looking for? |

water Unregistered guest | At what price can you let go a t30001bd amp? that was me I sighned watts lmao all I could think about was 3000 watts when i posted hahahah |

xdrummer03 Unregistered guest | Cash talks. I could prolly found out. Anyways 2 P3 12's > 1 15T2...I have heard the difference in the same vehicle between 2 p3's and 1 T12. I was way more impressed with the p3's. |
|
