Right on.

When I had my truck, I decided to go SPL (well.. SQL) oriented... I had two 15 inch TC-1000's off 1800 watts tuned to 35hz. Sounded good and got loud.

But I've always been geared more towards the SQ side of things. I don't care how loud my stereo gets in my Camaro (but it's sure enough for me.. 350 watts per side on my components = SCREAAAAMERS)

 

What kind of music do you listen to? 10s are usually for more rock type of things while 12s and 15s are for rap and the like. Id say go with 1 sub as 2 use more juice and dont pound that much harder. And if you like rock and clear bass, get a 10.

 

Stop it. You're wrong.

 

How am I wrong? You tell me why you would get a 15 sub if you listen to classical music and **** like that. Your just trying to be the startest mother ****er here and your not. Im not saying I know anything about anything but appearently you are a sub expert.

 

Yeah, I sure do know more than you. And no, I'm not trying to be the "startest" MFer out there. Home/Car audio has been and is still my main hobbie, but I just happen to own a Camaro.

I would rather have a 15 inch subwoofer than a 10 for classical actually, your logic is backwards. The ability to get much lower in the frequency response (which classical music has much of) would make me want a properly designed 15 than a 10...

And furthermore, the enclosure that a subwoofer is in has the greatest effect in subwoofer/speaker characteristics than the size of the woofer.

This is some basic stuff man, and I'm not even getting technical. Don't need to get all emotional and swear over this, as it further shows that your a hung kid, where I'm sure you'll learn more about speakers as time goes on. We always hear the rumored "10s hit tighter than 12s but 12s get louder but are more boomy" all the time, and it depicts the newbs out of the crowds. The one and only reason that statement is true is due to the fact that most mainstream companies use the same magnet/motor for all their different sized subwoofers. However, the enclosure that the subwoofer is in can control this issue.

I'm trying to help you out, do some research, and you'll figure it out. If you want me to link you to some basic and valuable information, I will.

 

Since you're an Mustang forum regular I will go easy on you.

You are wrong.

 

He is huh? That must explain it! (Total J/K)

 

Who really gives a ****, you guys are probably the kind of A-holes that leave there stereo on full blast while they pump gas or go into a 7-11. Do your pants sag too?

 

Actually I hate those people too. More than you probably. And I also hate people who stereotype based on no information like you just did.

It's people that blast their systems at full blast in residential areas at bad times of the day/night that ruin this hobbie for the responsible people. On all of my cars I sound deaden to have the least amount of sound possible to escape my car, and listen to my music with windows up if turned up in populated areas.

And no, my pants don't sag. Smart ***.

 

I'm going to agree with the end opinion here. I have, I'm not even sure what model to be exact, but a round kicker comp sub, the basic silver one, handles what maybe 1100 peak. I have it pair with a 1000 watt kenwood amp and the enclosure is built specific for the sub, it pounds away by buddys ****ty sony 15 and 2 10 mtxs. I was surpised. I had a little audio install business and that is the number one thing people do get misconceived about. Don't look at sizes when buying a sub, unless you have space issues. Look at response, frequency, ohms etc. And make sure the box is built to spec, you'll be able to build a lot better sounding system for cheaper. With my Pioneer 7200 deck that's a little old I can customize all the frequencies and such. Best of all, my buddy paid over 400 dollars for all his stuff, I payed 72.84. Wow.
