i think i made an earlier post about this but i cant find it, i am wondering what setup will sound better with a higher spl. two alpine R10's in a box not yet made. (*suggestions appreciated*) or two Kappa perfect 12.1d in a box sealed at about 1.1cuft.

alpine will run at about 750wrms off of a rockford power 1000a2 and the infinity will run at about 200wrms off an mtx 421D

Are you wanting to know which would be better in a particular vehicle??? Because there is going to be no comparison between the inside of a S-10 and the inside of a car. S-10 will have higher spl due to the small cabin with the subs in it, and the car would probably have better sq with lower spl due to the larger cabin and the subs being in the trunk. But put them in the same vehicle and i believe the 12's would give more spl due to the bigger cone size. Oh just noticed the difference in amp sizes. Well due to the major difference in power to the subs i would think the 10's would dominate, but just my opinion.
