10s and 12s

[cbrei1023 10+ year member]

Plain and simple, what are the pros and cons of 10 and 12 inch subs.

EDIT

I ask because I have heard on multiple occasions that a smaller sub will have tighter bass, but it sounds like BS to me.

Are there any pros or cons for using one size over the other besides volume?

its all a matter of the speaker design and the box design. 10"s are an all around universal sub. good mid bass etc. 12"s can be too but to an extent.

entirely too lazy to write a response that will have any meaning.

your logic is flawed if you actually believe the larger the sub= the less amount of low notes it can play.

He said they can be?

To an extent is such a relative term? So I don't understand how his logic is so flawed?

because using extent in a comparative term will mean not as much. so by saying a 10" sub will play midbass etc, implying a ten will play midbass (not what they're intended for to begin with, they're called subwoofers for a reason, subwoofer=sub bass=20-100hz generally, midbass is above)

hmmm... Is there any real benefit to taking one size over the other? If I had an RE SX 10 and an RE SX 12 and the same amp pushing the same 1000 watts to each sub. what differences would i notice between the 10 and 12 versions.

the 12 would move more air and require a larger box.

no offense, but most "subwoofers" i see can play well above 100hz

but would you wanna do in a car with them behind you? no.
