2 10s on the same power will always be louder then a single 12 with similar boxes (meaning both prefab sealed, both prefab ported, or both custom ported) and a T10001bd will probably do 1500w or so. im pretty sure i can get the number urs makes if u really want

yea if you can thatd be great, im thinking about just buying 2 more g5's then getting a custom reverse sealed box, but id be underpowering each sub by like 75 wt. (if it does 1500 exact)

type xs sound really good.. i had 1 10" and the sound quality was amazing in a sealed box.. perhaps the best i have heard. i would suggest 2 type xs over the bostons.. havent heard the bostons but can vouch for the type xs if you like sq.. wont win any spl contests.. i have heard they get loud in a vented enclosure and sound good doing it.. when i say loud i still wouldnt consider them sql subs.. perhaps 2 jl 12w6v2s would be the best of both worlds..

JL is more SQ than SPL and WAY WAY WAY overpriced and overrated

but yeh wuts ur budget how much are u willing 2 spend

and the Type X is more SQ than SPL also

G5's...i donno much about them so im not gonna say anything about them

but the G5's would def. get louder than 1 12 in the right enclosure cuz u have more cone area

id go with DD, DC, AA, or Fi subs if u want something LOUD (140-150db range) and have them sound good doing it
