DC Audio XL 10'' Vs 12''


Recommended Posts

I was just wondering what would be better to have for my set up in my car. I sold my 2 15's just because i could really use the extra room in the trunk now plus less weight in the back. I was thinking a single 10'' or a single 12''. Which would be better?

If you have the room to spare the single 12 has more cone area and would be louder, but be sure to build a proper enclosure

On paper it's louder in reality we can't tell you. It's all in how much space you want to use up.

I went with the one 12'' instead of the 10'' Thanks guys. Now as for the box, is it possible i can get something custom made like this but ported? Or should i go ahead and buy this sealed box. Space is a issue a reason why i'm down grading my 2 15's to one powerful sub.

If you want it to sound the best build a ported box. How much space do you have to spare?

The space i have to spare is basically what you see in that pic. That box is perfect for what i need, lately iv'e been having to many trips with gear and stuff so need as much room as possible. Having 2 15's gave me like no room at all lol, was fun while it lasted. But yeah i don't know much about prefab boxes like that and was hoping i can get some info about getting one built like that but ported. Or sticking to the sealed if that box is made good.

that box is for 2 12s, and a dc xl will brake a cheap.box like that apart! why spend $4++ on a great sub to cheap out on the box? if your looking for a sealed box why did you buy a xl? anyway. you really should build a nice custom box for that sub. it really is a shame to put it in a sealed prefab.

hope you make the right choice.

They sell single 12 boxes as well not just 2. That's why i'm asking on here if i should stick to that box or find someone that could basically make me a high quality box like that if space is my issue.

it's just such a good sub. how much power are you gonna give it?

what you need to do is build a box "size" And shape maybe a Lil bigger and port it. at least 2cubes net tuned to 30ish hz

that box is 1.7 feet. so.add a inch here 2inches there you'll be over 2feet. add a slot vent or a 4inch flared aero port and your set.

you could build that box (better) for $50

or have someone build a great one for $250

but don't buy prefab Man. i know it looks cool but so doesn't that girl at the bar when you had to much.

list some.dimensions and ask for a design

if you give that sub close to or rated power it really will break that box apart.

have one built. please for your sub
