one 12" or two 10"?
okay, as some of you may know i had all my equipment stolen from my 94 accord ex. i had an mtx 12" sub powered by a pioneer 300w amp. my question is, now that i am ready to rebuild, should i go with just a 12" or two 10"? i listen to alot of rock, and the 12" sounded perfect. my buddy said 2 10" will sound better, but i really dont want alot of bass. so what do you guys think?

2 10s in a properly sized box will hit harder than a comparable 12". Box will likely be larger though, depending on the drivers. A good 10" will probably do it if you say you aren't looking for a lot of bass.

cone size won't matter at all if the subs are in the correct boxes. The whole "10"s sound tigher and 12"s are all distorted and loud" debate is a bunch of crap
2 10" subwoofers = more cone surface area than one 12" so technicaly two 10" woofers have the potential to give out more bass than one 12"
So if you have the money go with 2 10" subwoofers, get quality ones and if you listen to mostly rock I would recomend around .75-1.25 cubic foot box, sealed for each 10. That will give pretty good bass response and when paired with a slightly larger then normal box you will get pretty good volume as well. Run the subs at their rms and you should have a pretty good system.

i was just thinking about that all night, except i think i'm gonna go with a kicker 10" sub with a decent 300w amp... like rockford or something... i have a nice panasonic cq-c8301u head unit now and i cant wait to hear it with a sub system
