to answer the OP's ? : memphis makes a great product.

I sold it for years when they were still Fultron and for a while when they were memphis. My brother still has a 12 yr old mono block amp they made running strong as hell. the 1st car audio d class amp made I might add.

generally a 12 will always outdo a 10 if they r same model vs same model wtf are you smoking?in todays new age of advancements alot of 10's are as good or better than a 12 or 15 was 5 yrs ago.

ok so you are very correct. You're much better off with a new 10 than a 10 year old 12. Otherwise, there's almost no good reason (other than space requirements and combination issues) to run a 10 over a 12.

I'm not smoking anything currently...is that why you've agreed with me...you like to smoke?

Memphis subs and amps are great

i have ran a mcd1500 and my friend had 2 mcd1000's and now has 2 mcd2500's and another one of my friends has a mcd4k and the other had 4 mcd4kws! some of the best power out there. the mcd4kw's have unregulated power supplies so they get off on good voltage.

Right now I am running 2 of the 08 memphis mojos and they are some of the loudest speakers i have owned for a bullshit prefab box and each sub seeing 800-1000 watts a piece. With bolt on baskets for the mojos, you mess one up and you dont have to worry bout the sloppy job of having to recone, just unbolt and rebolt..jobs done.

I know they've got potential, but I need to hear it from somebody who has had them.

read the fking title moron and as well you said any 12 tuned properly will outperform a 10 well duh its a 12 and maybe he doesnt want a huge box or a shitload of bass? in todays speakers until you get to the uber 12's and bigger a 10 and 12 perform very similar.

Then its not tuned properly.

Where's my spoon?

That's not a title.

Did he know that about the technological breakthroughs of the sub? I dunno, I otherwise just saved him from a dissapointing purchase. Meanwhile, I wouldn't worry with calling someone else a moron without bothering to accept the terms of language set forth. Savvy?

Lastly, you've offered nothing to help and yet you feel as though there is some sort of bonus that you should get because..what was it..your brother has one from a decade ago?

I'm getting back to this, not because of the attitude or the whimsical lack of articulation displayed, but the fact is a 12 should not have "a shitload of bass" as ooposed to a 10. When tuning a driver's enclosure we are optimizing the driver, yes, but to the best degree at which it will provide a linear response. If done properly "a shitload of bass" will only be there if the artist intended for " a shitload of bass" to be there. Does that make sense?

So a ten will not have as much bass only because it doesn't reach as far down the scale but if done correctly, all frequencies should be the same up to that point except for, perhaps, output...which should be adjustable

how do you like my avatar? the master of spoonery

SicAudio. There's no reason for a tone of irreverence. Requiring a question for a question to be answered is not too much to ask. For me to switch this to a useable topic about driver size was for the benefit of the OP...and well...you.

Ok, first this is not my thread, so I did not intent for ppl to start talking about what i posted, but it is good advice. I have no problems with 12s, But like alot of ppl are saying I want minimal trunk space tooken up. Plus it is just a moderate upgrade from factory. Maybe down the line Ill upgrade but for now set on tens. Thanks for all the input tho.
