Yeah I was suprised also that the two tens did not do as well.

to be honest you cant even compare them.


The size of the woofer determines the length of the waves that the speaker can produce. Tweeters do high frequency short waves and woofers produce low frequency long wavelength wave. Longer waves have more penetrating power as demonstrated when a car with a boom speaker goes by. You only hear the bass. It have less of a tendency to be absorbed than the higher frequency. I have thought about building a special enclosure and removing extra stuff along the rear seat such as relocating the vacuum accumulator but this solultion is much easier. I dont even have a great amp pushing it. It sounds great. Dont let anyone tell you that a 15 will sound like crap or that it is too much bass. they dont understand that we need boatloads of bass to get through all that rear seat stuff.

Also you can always turn the bass down at the head unit.

have fun
