10" Subwoofer vs 12"

Question

Which one should I choose for best performance. But remember that I am on a Budget also. I was considering buying either of the klipsch Subs that are sold at best buy, but I dont know which one I should get.

Answer 1

I would check out internet brands SVS or Hsu subs, their entry level subs (400.00) can beat out any sub costing five times more in stores.  Both brands are highly regarded in audio video forums (look at AVSforums and do a search) and see for yourself.  They are far better performing than the Klipsch subs.

Answer 2

Go with the 12", went it comes to subwoofers/bass, "there is no relpacement for displacement".

Answer 3

Get the 12 inch if it is within your budget.  All else being equal, the bigger speaker will go lower and have better bass overall.
