Sub size for a 6.5" front system

[buggsson 10+ year member]

Does it matter what size one has on the sub for a front system running just one 6.5" mid-bass woofer per side? I am considering either a 12" or a 15" sub for my VW Passat Variant. I know the sub will be able to play much louder, but that is not an issue for me, I won't play that loud anyway, I'm more interested in the integration between the sub and the front system.

if you don't need loud bass, an 8 would do.

if you want loud bass you could go with 12", 15" or even 18".

If not, an 8" would do.

ha.. of course not in Sweden one would not want to get outside the range of "Lagom" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I think you would be happy with a moderately powered single 10 or single 12.

also, I have some equipment in Stockholm I am wanting to sell. Could probably hook you up with a good deal. Im in the states now but you could pick it up if interested from my ex. She is in Hagersten. PM me if interested.

I was gonna tell you to get a 12" but since you dont need loud bass a 8" will do

honestly do u want noticeable bass or a different source of lows other than ur mids?

i would go 12 for noticeable

10 for different source / noticeable (really depends on the woofer)

8 to me isnt enough cone area for noticeable air movement

my opinion? a 12 in SQ woofer ported
