hey guys, i wanna get a sub but im wondering if i should get 2 10's or a single 12.? i listen to heavy/ really punch metal.. what should i do? a 12 can be punchy and provide good bass ? whats you opininons?

two 10s would be better in your case

10's are good for metal ect, 12's more for hip hop ect. Whatever you do get the subs mounted in a custom ported box and have your boot sound deadened

u reckon i could do with just one 10?

no 1 ten you'll be very disapointed if you want punch go two good ten's and good amps iv got an MTX 12" sud and its got Damd good base all round for what i paid i was shocked how much bass this thing putt out Very Very shocked iv got mates that spent big bucks on subs and amps iv spend about half even less and mine's got bigger bass

i got a single 10'' jvc 800w sub and i thought it would be pissweak but it blows away some of my mates 12''. if you put the right power into the 10'' itwill be just as good as SOME 12'' thats just my 2c

The two tens for what u want mate i like r n b n techno n hip hop so i got two 12s n a 15 inch

How about 2x 10's and 1x 12 in the middle? And can I fit it in my set up?

Really the answer is simple. the bigger the better. I have 4, 12 inch subs now. And want more. The more you have the more tuning powers you have, just tune it the way you like it!!

yeh 4 would be good do you have some cash to help him fund the setup ?

just get 2 10's as i have 2 10's they kick if set up right

yeah well i just heard my mates 2 12's JBL 1000 W with a cheap 400w 2 channel amp, it it goes off. my HU only has one RCA outut, how can i do 2 amps? what are splitters?

id get 2 10's if i was you with big wattage and amp's to suit to run 2 amps just get a 2 into 1 rca splitter .. i wouldnt imagen it would be too dear and runn the right size wiring tune your amp's correctly and will sound perfect.. or 2 12's > i got 2 12" clarion 750w subs running throw a 400w amp which is hooked up to my computer with custom bridged soundcard >;p its punchy enough to be too much and deep enough to vibrate nextdoors roof .. im happy, cant wait to get a bigger amp and MY EFFING CAR GOING! but thats just my life story.. ;p Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what are splitters? well they are a y cable that splits the lest rca cable lets say in to 2 cables but u would only realy have one you get me

splitters retail for around $20/pair

hey guys, not really familiar with the car audio sides of things, and sorry to hijack the thread, but for trance/techno as it is fast what subs are good, as i dont really want the bass to be out of beat

Why settle for a 10inch when it's not going to go anywhere near as loud as a 12. 12inch is good all round because it is punchy and delivers good hard bass. I have 1 x 12" solobaric kicker square sub and have a decent amp running 1000w to it. It cost a fair bit but remember u get what u pay for. U pay peanuts u get monkeys.. A mate of mine has 3 x 10" fusions and his sounds ratsh!t compared to mine in both quality and volume and yes I listen to rock as well.. mostly metallica.. rob zombie etc. In conclusion! 10's are sh!t.. get a 12.. if not two. Baset - I dont understand what u mean by how u dont want the subs to go out of beat? They stay at the same beat whether it's an 8 inch or an 18inch.. But for trance/techno id get some mad splits.. and 2 x 12's or even better 2 x 15's as you want low bass.. not punchy bass.

^^^^ his right so many of my mate's have tens good ones too and my MTX 12 whopps ass dude for what i paid for this sub and amp and even speakers ($350 for all ) it kickass to mate that have spent well over $2000 and thats not including price of head units on myn or there's i used the rca splitters on my old head unit it only had rear out and front out so i had a 4 channel amp i bridged the sub and use the splitters to run rear speakers and sub from my rear out, worked really well got sub on super sale at (MTX) $150 amp boss audio 4x100 RMS off a mate for $100 rear speakers 6x9's JL Audio off a mate $70 front 4 inch VDO super JB sale $30

^^^^^^^^ delaid or just sloppy ?
