How about using actual numbers? They're easy to find by simply looking at the SSA Product page for the XCon. The T/S spec "Sd" is effective cone area stated in cm^2. If you want it in inches, just convert. That gives you 480 cm^2 per 12 which is 74.4 in^2. The 15s are 810 cm^2 or 125.55 in^2. That makes 5 12s roughly equivalent to 3 15s. Add another of each and the percentage cone area advantage is pretty significant for the 15s at over 10%. However 10% isn't an audible difference. The 15s also want a slightly smaller enclosure. All that said, in a high power application the increase in heat dissipation allowed by the extra 2 motors of the 12s may reduce power compression and more than make up for the cone area difference. In a daily system, you aren't going to notice the difference one way or the other. If it were me, I'd go with the 15s for the cost savings and space savings.

Don't even have an account there. Complete fuck show. No one knows jack shit about any end of the spectrum on there. All hype and bullshit. That and the average maturity level of somewhere south of 12 years old.

GREAT THREAD...not really.
