sub size question

Recommended Posts

i have a single 12 sub in my car. it is a cerwin Vega stroker 122 in a ported box tuned to 32 hz. ilike the bass it produces and how it hits the lower notes. but i was wondering if i could get the same performance out a of a couple of 8's or a couple of 10's. i was looking for at the skar brand subs. so what do you guys think?

The 10s and 8s are made to be a bit "punchier" but your box will have a lot to do with how the hit the notes. Lower tuned and a little bigger will help with lows.

Also the sub/anp affects it a bit as well, what skars were you thinking of running?

I just saw your amp post. If your not going to upgrade amps I would get the: VVxv2. 2 of those 10s would be good. If you are looking to get the lower sound, you can do it with 8s but a 10 would sound better.

Also get your amp right and that will help.

Tune your box to about 32 like you have now and make a little bigger and you should be fine :)

My buddy runs 2 American bass XFL 10s in a 2.5 cubes box at 32hz and he can hit Lows well :)

So your telling me Kranny that 10s and 8s aren't made for tighter or punchier responses? Cause I swear that's what they say when I've read them on the MANUFACTURERS site. And I don't mean skars site I mean on others I have seen this
