Which would be louder?

1 12" Alpine Type R getting 350W RMS or 2 12" Alpine Type E's getting 175W RMS each?

The Type R will take up to 500W RMS and a Type E can handle up to 250W.

They'd probably in a sealed box, or maybe vented.

Thanks

So I take it 2 Type E's in a ported box would be louder than 1 Type R also in a ported box. Thanks, it looks like I'll have to sacrifice some trunk space.

yeah, but the two type e's will have double the surface area of the type r. now unless the type r got crapload of travel, i don't think one type r can be louder than two type e's, both in ported boxes.

if the type R really has gotten much better id take the type R but i dont feel it has so 2 type E's ported would get ok.
