I talked to someone at school that has 2 10" subs and he said something about surface area of the subwoofers, how it is better to have 2 subs then 1 b/c of the surface area. Will that be much of an issue for me?

<---- went unconventional. Elemental Designs 10O.44 and DEI Viper d1200.1 monoblock. $500 for the set. Should sound amazing, but I have yet to install. Waiting for a friend to help me out. Will take pics of the uninstalled equipment when I get home

2 10's will have about the same surface area as (1) 12

2 12's " " " " " " " " (1) 15...etc

the benefit is w/ one sub you can usually have a smaller box & still get the same or better sound outta it. you just have to get a dvc or svc @ a lower impedence

to get the best out of your amp, you must match the total impedance from the subs to the best rating on the amp. usually a mono amp will produce the most power at 2OHM, sometimes, one. a 2ch amp will usually be best at 4OHM bridged.........i dunno where im going with this. h:

so just make sure the impedance of the sub matches that of the amp. h:
