[QUOTE="Blake Vandercar, post: 8684007, member: 677153"] I had a 12" Sundown SA-12 . Now have 2 Kicker CompRs. Both times, in sealed boxes. Of course, all forums say that Sundowns are always better than Kickers. However, I now like the 10" kickers much better due to having a much wider frequency range (30-500 Hz) whereas the Sundown really failed to hit many of the higher bass notes in some songs. I mainly listen to dubstep, which often utilizes a really wide range of bass notes-- my best example would be Empathy by Bassnectar, in which the Sundown hit the lowest note of the bassline much louder, but barely made a peep at all from the [I]highest [/I]note of the bassline. The kicker hits this high note, and the low note as well (just not as loudly as the 12")-- and overall, this wider range is why i prefer the 10" Kickers. But still, I'm seeking something that can hit those high bass notes, but can also hit a little lower than my 10" kickers currently can. What's the move? Find some higher-hitting 12s? Or some lower-hitting 10s? I just want a really wide frequency range-- lowest lows while not having a gap in the upper bass range. The 12" Kicker CompRs go up to 500Hz just like the 10" ones I have, but have a lower Fs, should I try those out? Then again, the whole internet saying that Sundown is best maybe makes me want to try their 10s out... Or is this something hat could be fixed with my DSP PEQ?... Help me out please! [/QUOTE]
