[QUOTE="Hookah, post: 8534990, member: 671605"] We've been discussing this in my build-planning thread. I have settled on a single good 12" sub (maybe a JL 12W0v3-4) for the good system, in an optimized box I'm building myself. Before learning more, I was thinking of emphasizing different aspects with two different subs, as my build largely focuses on SQ. For now, with this practice system, I'm just playing around and experimenting. I unplugged the 8", just running the 12", and the volume and intensity dropped. When I plugged it back in, it seemed twice as powerful and was more filling (I don't know all the actual terminology yet). If anything, the bass does seem more de-localized with just the 12", but it's still pretty encompassing with both. Even with the more intense combination, the bass is still very smooth and mellow. I'm sure there are aspects I'm overlooking. I've tried several different locations and think I've found the best spots for this temporary combo that will hopefully seem novice by the time I apply the knowledge I'm learning here and elsewhere to better components. It's funny that you mention 'moving air' because that little 8" actually 'puffs' on my rear view mirror decorations from the back seat, blowing them with each beat. [/QUOTE]
