Which size subs you prefer????

[hot wheels]

1x10 would give me just the right amount of bass, but im not a strereo type of guy so i don't spend money on that

[raththomas]

I love my two 12's.. if i dont feel like too much bass i jsut tune them down to the setting that was set for me by my deck(auto eq by pioneer) but if i want to crank it up, they still can pound.. i think two 12's gives you the best of both worlds.. that is if they are powered and tuned right

[ExplodingCake]

for me , i got for one 10 coz i need the trunk space.. thats juz me.

[King James]

I have two twelves....and i still have enough room in my trunk to put my hockey equipment or golf clubs back there.....and thast all ive ever used my trunk for...i love the bass from the twelves

[Abeerdrinker]

Nothing beats 2 12's. Thats all I like to have in my cars. I run 2 Orion Xtr Pro 3's

[Half-Pint]

I have 2 12s and i have to tell you that if i had to do it agian, i would have gotten 2 10s and a better amp...i would like a quicker response that the 12s cant provide me.

[mondojackal]

definitely 2 12's...10's wont hit the lower frequencies that hit really hard in rap and hip/hop, and 15's tend to get too large of boxes and amp cost starts to get unreasonable for the upper level subs...so, you compromise and get 12's...

this man knows his shit^^^^

[mondojackal]

wrong, and wrong...you both seem to have misconceptions, but, hey, that is what this "beginner" forum is for, for you to learn something

10's seem to be easier to get sound quality out of. The larger the sloppier. Some nice 6x9's could do the trick if they got some power on them and do not distort.

the size has nothing to do with SQ..that is all a matter of subwoofer construction, setup, power supply, and signal quality, a properly set-up 12" sub can play so much better quality than an 8" sub with a merely adequate set-up..size has nothing to do with it

I have 2 12s and i have to tell you that if i had to do it agian, i would have gotten 2 10s and a better amp...i like a quicker response than the 12s provide me.

same thing here...12's arent necessarily any slower than 8's or 10's...again, a properly set-up 12 that has a directly proportional larger motor structure to cone weight ratio will have the same transient response speed as a similar 8" sub

eg.-

8" subwoofer cone..weighs 8 oz. and has a 80 oz magnet structure of 4 inches in diameter...

well a
12" subwoofer sone, that weighs 12 oz. and has a 120 oz magnet of 6 inches will perform more or less exactly the same as the smaller sub, but will extend down lower into the frequency range..something that you want if you listen to rap, hip/hop, or anything else with lower Hz levels..

[sonikaccord]

what he said^^^. Inductance also plays a huge role in the transient response of a sub.

[93blackcoupe]

you should really think about what you want to do more blow your ears off or if you want to race... it all depends if you want to race than one 12 should do it but if you want sound maybe like 3 or 4 10's cb7s have alot of trunk space

One 12 inch JL Audio does it for me!

[93spooncb7]

i used to have one jl audio w6 ran by a 1200 amp, with both voice calls hooked up and being in a ported box it hit hard and the sq was insane, ended up blowing it(turned amp up to high)

[BostonCb7]

I run a sealed box.
