Dual 10's Vs. Single 12

[StoneX]

Oh no... This thread has gone way down hill.

15's can sound tight in the appropriate box. Good quality 15's can sound better than low quality 10's.

I've had 10's, 12's, and 15's of all different brands and would always recommend a 12" sub for a normal system... They are an "all-rounder", they play reasonably low and have good output.

Why has it gone down hill, i never said a 15'' couldnt, doesnt, or wouldnt sound good- I only posted my advice on a question on what a 15'' is generally good for music wise...

No no and no!!!

i've been there with 10's dude n replacing 2x 10's with a single 12 will do the job however...

i suggest 2x 12's. you can pick up 2 cheap subs fro JB HI-FI for bout $150 each n they're gonna thump n you wont ever have to piss fart around ever again.

play with ya amp settings (gain etc) every 4-6 weeks n you'll wear em in nicely!

Some cheap subs love a ported box too!
(ported box's are designed to hold deep notes for longer but you'll hear it more than feel it).

anyway to sum it up mate i'd go for 2x 12's. If you've got a good amp you can make it happen with cheap subs!

I assure you my 2 Vw 250's will shatter a pair of cheap $150 12's...

Exactly. The system in my VS before I bought it had two Rockford Fosgate 15" subs in it...I don't know how expensive they were but they were part of the system which cost the guy $6k to put in...They cranked for RNB, pop, Metal, Trance, electro techno etc....

i like my 12" but i have seen some very good quality 10" and even 8" subs

2x10's and a 12 best of both worlds nice punchy bass from the 10's and the deep bass from the 12

I have duel 10's and a single 12, the 10's are much better!

You don't mix sub sizes in a car, that's a huge "no no" as well.
