Wow, these were really close! 1dB will not be noticeable by most people, usually takes closer to 3dB to be able to "hear" the difference. Either way, fun and educational video. Great job!
Running different size subs in the same box is the main concern possibly blowing out the weaker subs. Now if in separate boxes with different tuning you will cover a broader/larger frequency range which can help in a SQ setup.
A lot of people with this exact idea in their mind could benefit from being subbed to your channel. I remember seeing this kind of question with 2x10 vs 1x12, and 2x12 vs 1x15, whether on the old forums or on FB groups. I enjoyed this video. I think for some it could boil down to their trunk and whether they want to sacrifice the length of their trunk and have a slimmer depth with a pair or have a square shaped single sub and still have half the trunk, or the height of a single 15 wouldn’t clear the trunk
I wish you would have tested the difference between 25hz and 30hz. I wonder if the 15 would substantially pull ahead the lower you go in hertz. One or two decibels in basically a tie on the daily. Thanks for the vids.
Great comparison Parker. Quite a few people have asked me this question over the years. One major advantage to a single sub is needing less power, equating to no need to upgrade charging system, which is a big expense.
It all comes down to driver sensitivity response. It seems everyone (these days) equates a huge motor and stiff suspension to a BETTER driver.. and really if you want to get loud w/o upgrading you charging system, you need 1) and efficient amp that has a low distortion factor, 2) a SENSITIVE sub that matches the output parameters of that amp, 3) a complimentary enclosure that works with that sub to reproduce the type of result you are going for. What a lot off people fail to recognize, is you can have LOUD bass response in a relatively low bandwidth range, OR musicality in a wider range of response, but you are going to lose that little range of boost where you would be tuning that boost. Soo many times i built an awesome setup, only to find that some songs just made ya tear up with how great it sounded, but play a different track and it sounds like a kid whacking a bucket with a stick
Love the content...so many people have these questions daily and it's so hard to find answers. A lot of times it's expensive to experiment. It's so much easier to look up a video with real-world results. Keep up the great work and bass on basshead
When I had my sub setup was running a single DC Audio Neo Elite 15" on a Dc Audio 5k soundlab in a ported box. It was awesome, had to upgrade the alternator, ran an extra yellowtop in the trunk, ran 8 guage from sub to amp & 2 guage throughout the vehicle. Could only bump hard for 10 mins before needing a cooldown 😢
I have two 15” DDS SKAR subs couldn’t fit in my Caddy. Had to buy one single 12 tube by SKAR. Sounds loud and good but not the same. The 15’s not only sounded better, you actually feel the shaking of the subs and the car vibrates as well. The 12” woofer sounds good but no feeling behind it. 😢
Depends on the situation,but more overall coil mass, coil area, displacement volume, box volume, all that will rather win. Especially so when high end drivers scale poorly with price.
Technically two 12s have more cone area, but since you went with cheaper 12s this results make sense. Another idea would be the old square vs round sub debate. Thanks for the videos! Cone area = pi x (r x r) pi = 3.14 r = radius of sub One 8" = 50.27 One 10" = 78.54 One 12" = 113.1 One 15" = 176.71 One 18" = 254.47 Two 8" = 100.53 Two 10" = 157.08 Two 12" = 226.19 Two 15" = 353.43 Two 18" = 508.94 Three 8" = 150.8 Three 10" = 235.62 Three 12" = 339.29 Three 15" = 530.14 Three 18" = 763.41 Four 8" = 201.06 Four 10" = 314.16 Four 12" = 452.39 Four 15" = 706.86 Four 18" = 1017.87
Yes please get some 18's on the channel, doesn't matter what you compare them to just wanna see your overall thoughts on the 18in woofer if it is worth spending extra money and sacrificing extra space for a bigger box or should you just buy 2-12/2-15 instead 🤷♂️
3 10"s vs 2 12"s vs 1 15", all the same EVL or same line from whatever brand(deaf bounce, sundown, incriminator, SKAR). Which setup gets the best bang/boom for your buck. Of course all 3 setups matched to cubic feet & RMS watts in the same vehicle. So for instance would 2 skar evl 10's hit harder than 2 12" evl's or 1 15"??? Or maybe swap the 15" for a 18" but not everybody can run a 18 so the 15 may still be a better choice. I'm trying to decide which way to go now myself. Im currently running a single Memphis mojo pro 12" in a skar 2.0cft box on a skar rp.1200 @4ohms(500watts). Im trying to figure my next move & running the 2 12's side by side wont work in my Acura TSX. So do i run 1 deaf bounce 3512 in a 2.65cft box, add another skar single box with another Memphis Mojo Pro or up size to a 15" skar evl in a 3.15cft box???? Im very happy with the single mojo pro but of course i want more bass😂😂😂
I have 2 sdr 12 on 1200 watts and my buddy at work has 1 sdr 15 on 800 watts. He wants to upgrade to an Evl 15 but I know he will get better results by getting a bigger box. This proves it.
Exciting stuff, definitely would like to see evl 12's v evl 15. Fantastic video, pretty scientific stuff buddy 👌. Can't wait to see the one 18 v 2 , 15's maybe deaf bonce. Excellent experiment.
I was searching the Internet looking for a good comparison between a single 15" EVL and a dual 12" SVR loaded enclosure deal. Single 15" or a dual 12" are the biggest that I can fit in my trunk. If the (2) SDR are hitting as good as the 15, that means the SVR will be even better. Thanks for the info.
I run 1 15 in an angled box since I have a sedan and trunk space is needed for groceries and it’s perfect, bass is smooth even when hooked up with a 1500w amp
I know this is mostly about SPL, but what about SQ? I realize that is subjective, but if both setups "perform" similarly, and one sounds noticeably better... buying the better SQ setup is a no-brainer... all else being equal. edit: typo
The single 15" was Louder, than the (2)- 12", with less power @ every freq., below 45 Hz! Then @ 45 Hz the (2)- 12" were only 1/2 Db louder than the single 15", but it took 334 more watts to do so. The more fair, cone area wise comparison, would have been (1)- 18" D2 Zvx, vs (2)- 12" D4 Sdr's, 254 sq. In. Vs 226 sq. In. Of cone area. Put both in a 5 Cu. Ft. Net enclosure, tuned @ 30 Hz, with both having 70 sq. In. Of port area. This would be really Awesome to see!
Great video dude. Ds18 ZXl 15. 30mm xmaxx been really studying this sub for some time. Price drop to 299 made them more appealing. Love to see you test them out.
Also depends on what you are looking for. What kind of music do you mostly listen to. Fast moving bass or lower frequency slower bass. If accuracy matters to you maybe the 12”s are a better choice. Personally in my experience, 15’s hit the low frequencies with ease and smoother than 12’s. Yes there are so many different variations. I have a SQ system.

I learned this the hard way. For decades I would only run 2 subs. Later in life I needed the space more than I needed the sound. I found out the loudness seemed about the same. I went from 2 10's to a single 12. Now I have a single evl 15. I would advise against the SDR's as they are junk in my opinion. The evls are clearly better than the Kicker solo's from my expereince.

I would like to see 4 cheap 12s vs 1 expensive one $300-$400 vs 4 $75-$100 surface area surface area average it’s about 75 square inches for a 12 and about 125 for a 15
Thank you for the excellent videos and help you always offer! Myself I would do 30hz and maybe 50-60hz tests, as I am seeing from your test the 12’s would be better for 45hz+ maybe say 60hz they’d be at 140db or so, below 35hz the 15” wins, so for 25-45hz get the 15” for 35-60hz get the 12’s maybe?
I know they say not to mix sub sizes! but I like a hard punch of two 12’z, but I also like the deep bass of two 15’z too. So I like the best of both worlds at the same time! I’ve ran both at the same time before and sounded really good as long as u tweek it lol
When I first went from my 2~12 inch U series sundown’s to 1 15 inch Xv2 there was a huge difference and I just change the baffle on the box so it’s the same box
When you say clipping is that the amp clipping or the subs bottoming out on excursion? If it's the amp clipping was the nominal impedence of both subs the same? Based on the impedence reading from the SMD it looked like the 12s were wired to 1 Ohm whereas the 15 looked to be 2 Ohm. That would explain the difference in power achieved.
2 12's might give you a bit more quality because of stationary waves and less moving mass, the 15 might get you a little deeper but there are so many other variables only way to find out is to try it ..
This is said frequently but in reality nobody can tell if they're hearing a 12 or 15 plus you can shape the sound as you want with your box by using either a 12 or 15
@@marthepedersen1454 yeah I have nothing now. I'm 50 years old and lost interest. I've helped my youngest son recently build a system with a skar sub, and Def bonce doors. It's louder than mine was.
Great channel. Would like to see more db testing, car loaded with luggage will this lower db reading. Also curious which direction I should take. Currently running 2 12in power t2d2 subs on fosgate 2500 amp. I only metered 140s. Would I gain more with more power on these subs or upgrade subs, I have considered doubling the power and using one amp per sub however manufacturer did not reccomend.
Putting 5k watts to SDR that are only around 600 watt RMS each. The 15" is around 1250 watt RMS. Should be using the same line up. Not a low end to a higher end
That 15 is in a small box .I'm guessing the kicker box is at the lower part of the space that 15 needs so are the 12s at there lower cube space? Still interesting. Thanks for the video.
Biggest mistake people make is not having the correct amount of cubic feet of air needed per sub . I run one 12 with plenty of space it pounds about as good as a 15 .
Two evl 12s will definitely out perform 1 evl 15 lol. Make it fair an make it a zvx 15 :p Still really want to see you review the hooligan18 15"... Great video as always! Much love from Seattle!

Yessir! Thank you Big D!
@@ParkerTheBassheadpause
😂😂😂😂
A 3db gain doubles the spl. 133 is twice as loud as 130db. But for a human ear to perceive a doubling of volume it requires a 9db gain, super odd!😊
look at the watt difference 450 watt
Love this video. Nobody does content like this. What people actually want too see. Keep up the good work Parker 🎉
Run all 3 and see if you actually get more or not. Everyone says don't mix sub sizes.
I agree
You can mix but you should run off different amps because the tuning will b different between sizes
My friends and I have been mixing sub sizes for years running all on the same amp and in some cases in the same box and never heard any complaints
If he runs all three it will be like running 1 15 and 1 18 he will definitely get gains
Running different size subs in the same box is the main concern possibly blowing out the weaker subs. Now if in separate boxes with different tuning you will cover a broader/larger frequency range which can help in a SQ setup.
Thanks for doing a 15 comparison with two 12s. That's one of the things I've been thinking about.
Which sounded better, that’s the real question dude. Awesome video man keep bringing the content 👍
Wow, Great comparison test. The 15" gives close to the same output if not more for less power consumption.

I appreciate it man!
2 basic 12's are equal to 1 good ass 15"? That's what I'm getting from this.
I wish you would have tested the difference between 25hz and 30hz. I wonder if the 15 would substantially pull ahead the lower you go in hertz. One or two decibels in basically a tie on the daily. Thanks for the vids.
Yea u right hopefully he see this
Those boxes probably aren’t tuned to hit that low so the subs will just lose control and sound like crap
Great comparison Parker. Quite a few people have asked me this question over the years. One major advantage to a single sub is needing less power, equating to no need to upgrade charging system, which is a big expense.
Two subs would be much more efficient. Meaning they would be louder with less power.
im pretty sure i saw 5000w you def need to upgrade your charging system to handle that

Would love to see one beefy 15" vs 2 weaker 15", would they be the sameish or would cone area beat raw power.
I think cone area for the win unless the 1 15 is on another level. Like way on another level lol
Depends on the situation,but more overall coil mass, coil area, displacement volume, box volume, all that will rather win. Especially so when high end drivers scale poorly with price.

Grab the triple 8 skar preload box and do the same test. Curious how that stacks up, I have heard the triple 8 box from skar can get into the 140s.

I know this is mostly about SPL, but what about SQ? I realize that is subjective, but if both setups "perform" similarly, and one sounds noticeably better... buying the better SQ setup is a no-brainer... all else being equal.

2 Evl 12s vs 1 Evl 15 on the same power and then max power would be very interesting. Do it!
Also out of these 2 setups in the video, what sounded the best to you parker?
Parker those 15s have a undersized magnet and motor. 12s all day.
I’m interested in seeing the 2 EVL 12 test
They have a triple EVL 12 option too
The single 15" was Louder, than the (2)- 12", with less power @ every freq., below 45 Hz! Then @ 45 Hz the (2)- 12" were only 1/2 Db louder than the single 15", but it took 334 more watts to do so.

Fast moving bass or lower frequency slower bass. If accuracy matters to you maybe the 12”s are a better choice. Personally in my experience, 15’s hit the low frequencies with ease and smoother than 12’s. Yes there are so many different variations. I have a SQ system. I run two 12’s in the back and one ten in the front footwell. 12’s produce the lower frequencies and the 10 gives me the fast accurate chest punch that compliments my 8” mid bass perfectly.
Crossovers are
Rear 12’s are 0-50hz
Front 10 is 50-100hz
8” midbass 100-270hz
3.5” mid 270-3850hz
1”Tweeter 3850-20khz
Use a Helix DSP ultra.
Should have used the same 15 as the 12s just to see how it stacked up.
Can you see about a really high quality amp on a cheap sub vs high quality sub with a cheap amp
That'd be interesting
I learned this the hard way. For decades I would only run 2 subs. Later in life I needed the space more than I needed the sound. I found out the loudness seemed about the same. I went from 2 10's to a single 12. Now I have a single evl 15.
I would advise against the SDR's as they are junk in my opinion. The evls are clearly better than the Kicker solo's from my expereince. I would choose the Comps over the SDRs as well.
What do you think about the SVRS
I like that you did it within a dollar value, but yes, you should also do it comparing different sizes in the same line/level.
I drive a pick up, quad cab. Makes subwoofers tricky.
Went from an orian hcca 15 down to a skar evl 12 to save space but I miss the volume of the hcca.
Was thinking about selling the evl and getting two stronger skars (forgot name) in a 10”
So slightly bigger then solo 12 but with 20” of boomboom
Do 10s hit lows? Going to do a standard ported box
I had a sundown sa8 v2 on a Memphis 1100D in a box tuned to 27 hz and let me tell you for an 8in the lows were pretty ridiculous
I'd really love to see 1 18 vs 2 12s. Or maybe a couple of 10s compared to a 15?
a single 18 vs a pair of 12s makes the most sense
I would love to see a video of 2 Skar EVL 6.5 vs 1 EVL 8, 2 EVL 8 vs 1 EVL 10, etc. and would be willing to donate some 💵 towards the tests
What if you did the same test but with all the same size woofer? 2 cheap 12s vs 1 more expensive 12, even if it's from a different brand
I would like to see 4 cheap 12s vs 1 expensive one
$300-$400 vs 4 $75-$100 surface area surface area average it’s about 75 square inches for a 12 and about 125 for a 15
Thank you for the excellent videos and help you always offer!
Myself I would do 30hz and maybe 50-60hz tests, as I am seeing from your test the 12’s would be better for 45hz+ maybe say 60hz they’d be at 140db or so, below 35hz the 15” wins, so for 25-45hz get the 15” for 35-60hz get the 12’s maybe?

I’m currently running two of the Deaf Bonce SA-302’s love them so far. They slam and the sound quality is great
Also was both boxes tuned to the same frequency?
15” is more efficient for essentially the same dB. Less power and more equal across the frequencies.
Cant get around the fact that 2 12s displace more air than 1 15. 24" vs 15". Power ratings left aside ofc.
Damn I have been brainstorming about this for my Colorado...
I’m in the fence on running two 10” Skar evl’s or the triple 8 evl’s in my Camaro 5th gen
Are you running any bigger alternator or just the batteries
I love that dual 12inch box planning on a new build think ill build something similar
Great channel. Would like to see more db testing, car loaded with luggage will this lower db reading. Also curious which direction I should take. Currently running 2 12in power t2d2 subs on fosgate 2500 amp. I only metered 140s. Would I gain more with more power on these subs or upgrade subs, I have considered doubling the power and using one amp per sub however manufacturer did not reccomend.
You’ll notice especially with how hard they hit. I’d take 2 12’s over 1 15 but it depends on the vehicle. I do like the idea of 1 15 tho
For a daily driver it's hard to beat one 15" imo. If I'm trying to get musical I just go with 10's
I'm fixing to build a new system and this really helps me make a decision!
An EVL to EVL full comparison would be better. Thx
Let’s see the 2 12 evl. For a better comparison
They serve different purposes.
But my mecp expired 10 years ago so what do I know
yes but what about if they are all same quality subs like single 15" sundown Xv2 vs 2 12" sundown Xv2
I'm curious to see what db you would have got at 50hz and 55hz aswell and 25hz and 30hz
These are cool videos. I’m currently going with 1 15 over the 2 12
Going to 2 12s from 1 15 myself looking for a little more sq than spl
@@thomasnygard2334 2 12s are more musical. sound good on all music
and gets louder
Hello what is the littrage you advise for a 12" 2500 rms sub ?
2-Dc audio level 3 12’s build recommended enclosure straight from their website. Port facing passenger side of tailgate.
What would be louder, 1 really nice 15 or my current 2 kicker l7s on 1500w rms?
Putting 5k watts to SDR that are only around 600 watt RMS each. The 15" is around 1250 watt RMS. Should be using the same line up. Not a low end to a higher end
What single Sunday will be louder then 2 skar evls 12
A video we've all been waiting for 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Love from South Africa
Curious about the sound on music. It seems like the 15 would play a little lower overall, which is what I prefer.
Pretty cool bud. Keep Bassin on.
Which one SOUNDS better??
That 15 is in a small box .I'm guessing the kicker box is at the lower part of the space that 15 needs so are the 12s at there lower cube space? Still interesting. Thanks for the video.
Parker:What did we learn? Me: Cone area is king
the 15' is more efficient so theoretically more cost effective too. amps would be the same but having 1 15' sub should be cheaper to buy right?
Wondering if you can get a pair of 21s or 24s somehow and get them booming off of that 20k
What kind of alternator is powering these?
Biggest mistake people make is not having the correct amount of cubic feet of air needed per sub . I run one 12 with plenty of space it pounds about as good as a 15 .
Two evl 12s will definitely out perform 1 evl 15 lol. Make it fair an make it a zvx 15 :p
Still really want to see you review the hooligan18 15"...
Great video as always! Much love from Seattle!
I would love to see how much power 2-evl 12’s can handle !🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Which subs are louder DB’s or Skar?
