[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8357840, member: 574798"] Well I think an 18" for just a room is kinda overkill.. I'm all about overkill though lol.. but you're gonna need to ask yourself what your needs are. Do you have room for an 18? Do you wanna pi[COLOR=black]s[/COLOR]s off your neighbors? Do you have an amp that can do about 1000w rms? A 10" can hit just as deep as an 18 but only if it's custom ported tuned low... kinda hard to do that with a sealed box. So I would suggest a 15".
