10's or 12's?

What are the ups and downs of going with 2 sealed 10" IDQ's as opposed to two sealed 12" IDQ's in a SQ with some SPL install?

u will move less air and have less impact!!!!

10's = Smaller box and moves less air

12's = Bigger box and moves more.

If anything, you're just losing out a bit more on the SPL portion. I doubt you'll hear any significant SQ differances in either sub in a well built box.

If you go with 12s, you theoretically have the potential to get about 1.5 dBs louder because of the increased cone area. Sound quality differences should be undetectable, as long as the boxes are both properly designed and built.

To me 10's produce a more puchier bass. Is that even a word (puchier) I like 10's better for the all around music listener.
