Default 2 10's or 2 12's?

My work is giving some bomb ass discounts on Kicker subs. I am contemplating on either 2 10in kicker comp VR's or 2 12in Comp VR's. The car audio guys are each telling me different opinions. Im just so confused. I can also get the Kicker Solo-Barics... Can I get some opinions on this.
Oh yeah, the difference in price between the 10's and 12's are like $15 dollars so money isnt a problem.

thanks

Get the 12s. More surface area = more displacement = more bass =

i like the bass, but too much isn't a good thing.

i'd stick with the 2 10's or 1 12.

All in personal perference, how much power you can afford, and how much space you are willing to give up in your trunk. I am dropping my 12" for a 10" :happysad: IDQ for sale soon btw h:

I doubt you will be able to actually hear the difference, if given the same power, fyi.

Being a sound system guy, get the two 10's but hook them up with good amps. If you get the twelves, their will be more power you will have to balance through out your speakers, and sub!
