Didn't know if this belonged on the tech page, so here goes. Just recently looked at the SSD 10 and 12". Looks to me they have the same power handling. Anyways Im currenty torn between the two of them. I know I would get 1 with a copper coil but thats it. I would like some more input on both, so I could get a better idea on which version would give me the results I want. Amp I have is an older Memphis 500D.

I'm also looking at the SoundSplinter rl-i10 if it matters any.

If you can go for the 12" then you should. It has a larger cone so it can push more air. I just got a 12" SSD with the copper option and it sounds very nice, and i still need to build the box it goes in for good. 10" would be good in a pair IMO.

The power handling doesn't change because all sizes have the same size motor and coil. The only difference is more cone area.

The SSD is $174, comes in 8"-18", it has slightly more xmax, and slightly more power handling.

The RL-i costs $215, it only comes in an 8" and 10", and has a significantly stronger motor.

If I were you I would go with two RL-i 10's, then you get them for $200 each, and get more coil to dissipate heat and cone area.
