[QUOTE="Dafaseles, post: 8730398, member: 681482"] With the right sub, any size sub in the right/ correct enclosure can touch every note you desire. A sealed enclosure with the right sub will hit 20hz to 80hz easy. Same with the right sub ported, though the lower notes that you usually don't see too often in music will roll off. Usually more "musical" ported enclosures are tuned in the low 30's... though that's also dependent on the specific sub and power. Using 2 different size subs is rather pointless. If you did, you'd have the 12 playing up to maybe 45ish hz and the 10's playing 45ish to 80 ish. Why? When the 12's can do that too. And if you have to much overlap, you'll get weird peeks and valleys in your response that aren't desirable. Decide how much space you're willing to give up. Decide between ported or sealed. Decide how much power can afford (along with upgraded electrical if need be). Then decide on the right sub/ subs for your build. I've always been told, great sound is 20% equipment, 80% enclosure. That might be a little overdramatic, but you get my point. [/QUOTE]
