theboogieman77 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Where I listen to techno with driving, glitchy, complicated bass, I have always thought a 10 inch was the way to go to keep up. However, I want to know if tuning a 12 at 30-32 hz will keep up a good clean bass. right now i have some sony xplodes that my friend gave me at 800 watts and im not too impressed with how clean it is. I want to upgrade to a better brand but im still stuck choosing between the sizes of the woofers. thoughts and suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboogieman77 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 agreed, so you would say tuning a 12 lower could be as clean as a 10? im looking for loud but quick so im trying to gather info on whether 2 12s would out perform 2 10s in said genre.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why couldn't 12's sound as good as 10's? There is way more to it than just the speakers size. Do you have an idea of what subs you want? and don't say this or that make it one specific sub or this thread will get locked. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

theboogieman77 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I've never played with sealed boxes. Couldn't 30hz ported be just as clean but louder? Also this is in an suv to consider airspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Schenk Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I would go with 2 subs with good sql. Personaly I would go sealed with 2 12s. definitely ditch the Sony xplodes they are called xplode for a reason . Get some good quality woofers in a quality box and you will be a lot happier.

Skullz Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Low tuning won't hit all the notes as the roll off happens sooner than a higher tuned box will. High 30's to a 40hz or 42hz tuned box will play everything you want to hear and most importantly you will be closer to your cars RF point making it much more violent at that frequency. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
