We have also heard 15" drivers that are quicker than 10" drivers:

Those 12" and 15" drivers are crossed over at about 900 Hz.

He even has me out powered. And as far as cone movement its 28% more moving air for the 2 10's. Not a huge difference in size. 157 in2 (10) vs. 113.04 in2 (12).

So what are your thoughts sub-wise and what kind of music do you listen to? And are you thinking sealed or ported?

Check out 2 JL 10W1s or 2 JL 10W3's on a JL 250/1 or 500/1. Then have a ported box built for it. It will cost more than most options but the sound quality and SPL levels will impress you. They can go low if needed and quick enough for the bass drums in your rock.
