[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 410475, member: 550915"] Given the proper enclosure, yes. Not true. The 12 has the potential to play low notes a bit louder based on its larger cone area and ability to theoretically move more air, but a 10 will play just as low. In the case of some subs, the 10 has a lower Fs and can get lower easier than the 12 of the same series. If loud is what you want then 1) Ported is going to be the way to go and tuning should be a bit higher than optimal for flattest response 2) JL subs are not the loudest subs out there by a long stretch. For low power applications, they work really well and can sound really good. I know you like them, and I use them and really like them, also, but they are not SPL subs by any means. If you are determined to keep the JLs (you do already have them after all) build a good sized ported enclosure for them and let 'em wail. You will probably lose a bit of the impact that the sealed enclosure gives you but you will get more output. [/QUOTE]
