Ok guys I need advice on my 2 setup options. Which one is going to beet harder? The setups will have 3 of the power acoustic a1800db d-class amps capable of 1400 rms at 1ohms, which both setups will run at. The first setup is 3 Power Acoustic Mofo 15 inch subs. The box is made by the recommended specs by the manufacture which is a ported and only ported because it’s not recommended to run them in a sealed box and each amp is pushing each 15 inch sub at 1400 rms. Or the second setup which has 6 of the 10-inch Power acoustic FX subs. They are dual 4ohm subs and run 800rms which one of the d class amp can power a pair of them perfectly and 1 ohm (1400rms) and the box is made to the specs of the manufacture but I can make it in a ported or sealed box. So what do yawl think. 3 15inch subs in a ported or 6 10inch sub in a ported or sealed or both. What will beat more? Help, Please

Go with the 10's at any cost. 10's sound so much better and will be a better choice over the 15's.
Why do you ask if I ate paint chips when I was younger?

why didn't you consider 12'? what kind of music will you be playing? 10's 12's and 15's all produce different types of sound.ported and sealed boxes will have a big difference in sound yoo. you asked witch one will beet harder. the 15's will produce more spl(hit harder) but like abovestock said the 10's will sound better. there are more things tobe considered. it will come down to what kind of sound you like,what kind of music you play.
JUST ONE MORE AMP!!!

Definately go with the 15's, its un-true that 10's sound better than 15's unless were talking about legacy woofers.  The motors are generally the exact same in the same model subs, the only difference is the size of the cone which isn't enough of a weight diffrence to really affect the performance and accurancy of the sub. True sound quality comp people rarely use 10" subs, they use 12's and 15's, , The whole 10's sound better than 15's thing started from that punk kid down the road running sony trying to make himself sound smart.

go with the 15 they will pound like crazy. they will displace more air than the 10 or the 12. and tecnicly you can get any sub nomater the size to have good sq and still shater windows. the 15 are the best choice for you since you listen to rap.
