Is 1 10" good enough?

[BobTheSlob 10+ year member]

I'm not going for total volume here. I dont want my friends to be able to hear me from a mile away. But would 1 10" SQ sub be enough to give my car good bass. And when I say good bass, I mean, something I can feel, easily. I don't wanna get it in my car and think "is this thing on?". I have 2 RF 6x9's right now, so, would 1 10" SQ sub be awesome compared to those?

no 6x9's can compete with a 10" sub. Yes, you will be pleased with a 10" sub as long as you dont get something horrible.

1 10 can hit like 140 db (ask rangerman)

its all in the install, if you put the sub in the right box then you will get all the volume you want, if you put it in a smaller box you will get a nice thight sound great for sq

I would definately say yes because if you buy a brahma or JL audio 10" it will sound amazing.

well BoB...the higher you turn the volume the louder it goes so if you dont want it to be to loud to hear your engine...dont turn it up too loud...but in the other hand a good 10..not a jl but a brahama or a re you will probably be happy...

JL 10W7 all the way. One 10W7 hit as hard as my two Kicker Comp 10"s

Yah I was at work yesterday at Office Max and I was at the middle of the store and I heard some **** good bass. Then I found out who it was when he was leaving so I told my boss I was going out to bring in some carts. Im thinking Hes got like 3-4 12 or 15s. He pops the hatch and there is one measly 10 in there. It was a JL w7 though which is one of the best. pretty expensive too. He said he paid over 600 wholesale. Ive seen 12s on ebay Buy It Now for 400 something.
