Post Number: 419 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 00:39 GMT Can a 12" or 10" hit the lows as good as a 15" or 18" if so what subs? DD, Re, fi, aq? I don't go to shows and none of my friends are really in to car audio, so I just don't have as much listening experience as most. I have always used 15's and 18's and haven't gave 10's and 12's a chance. Is it all box dependent?

Keep it simple on your wiring, box and amp. And I luuub how an 18" sounds.

sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 9038 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 12:09 GMT my brother Scott s has a phoenix gold titanium elite 12 and that thing hits the lows...i believe it has an fs of 25 hz and he hit 138 db at 35 hz on the termlab sealed up on the dash in a 2.50 cube box port tuned to 35 hz...its for sale too...only draw back is it has like a 10 inch mounting depth...it can also be placed in a sealed box
Troy Jones Gold Member Username: Tejcurrent Post Number: 1291 Registered: Apr-07	Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 12:54 GMT The vehicle and enclosure will make all the difference. I've seen t/l results with multiple 12s hitting 150s in the 20hz region. I love the sound of my 18s though..
