[QUOTE="MIDILizard, post: 8739089, member: 682544"] Hey All. I produce/mix in recording studios. 12" vs 8" is all about physics and moving air. The physical wave pattern of low frequencies requires really moving air and really...space and mass. Good 8"s can do well-enough for the more important and common lows (basslines, kiks, toms, low pads, etc.) and satisfy most of us - but can't move real air (what you feel) without the size of the speaker (or multiple speakers) as the low sound waves are simply...larger. I do think a couple 8s or 10s can have a nice tightness and lowness to them. A 12 can sound a little "fluffy" to me depending on the amp/case/mass, space, etc. // On another note, I use some speaker-calibration software that REALLY make a HUGE difference for "EQing" speakers to a room. It's AMAZING stuff! [URL]https://www.sonarworks.com/soundid-reference/for-speakers[/URL] < Is there anything like this for cars? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
