I'll handle this..: 10-6x9's would make a heck of a racket for a non spl based real loud system.

2 18's will move much more air. Which translates to more kick. So they will be louder. the 21 may be higher quality sound i do not know the companies well enough to tell you but the 2 18's will be much louder unless you put them in a bad box.

I agree with 84subeywagon, go with the two 18's.

What kind of car is this going in?  Do you have any idea the size enclosure you're gonna need for those things?  I'm guessing those 18's are gonna want 5+ cubic feet per sub and the power to go with it.  I'm assuming you have significantly beefed up your electrical system?

Why did you overlook 15's?

I don't want to type it all again, but read through this, to see how wrong you are with this blanket statement.

Suffice to say, you're wrong.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Nice post Haemphyst. Interesting read at that too.
