    Big is not always best, what sort of music you listen to has a factor. like a 10inch will give you tight controled bass, a 12 will give you not so tight and low, were a 15 is low. Also depends what sort of box you put it in sealed or ported, sealed will give you tight and fast (dance & pop) and ported will give you low and slow (r&b Hiphop). And what hzs you tune your box to aswell.

    I've been looking for a few days and some ppl are saying that some subs might be the same rms and same watts but sound different depending on the name and cost

    ive bought 12" sealed sub but also bidding on a 12" ported one as well only because ive not made my mind up yet i feel the 12" is going to give me the best of both worlds ive always gone for 10" sealed in the past but with age my taste in music has carmed down but looking at my 12" one sat in the boot at the moment not wired in yet it seems lost so might get 2 x 12" subs and test both out or just have both in the boot
