Is it better to put 10 or 12 inch subwoofers in a standard cab ford ranger?

Question

im looking at kenwood packages one for 12s with a 1200 watt amp and one for 10s with a 1000 watt amp. im not sure which would be better. i've heard 10s hit harder and 12s carry farther. i'd really like some good bass and people to be able to hear me before they see me if you know what i mean.

Answer 1

depends which style music you like, as well. 12's tend to work better for rap and club music, while 10's will make a rock kick drum sound phenom. thats not to say 10's will sound S****y with rap or 12's can't rock, but just something else to consider.

Answer 2

i would say go with the 10's ,if u dont u may run into the problem of not having egnough leg room ,from where u will have to compensate for the box with the 12's,  10's are good size subs for a regular cab truck,if u buy a quality set of subs 10's will have people hearing u as well as u having adequate room for ur legs,i've done this same set-up for many different trucks and i will always recommend the 10's ,keep in mind (if u have some cash) to spare, shallow mount subs are very nice for this peticular type of arrangement.

Answer 3

I don't know how much space you have behind a regular cab.  I have a 99 Ranger XLT extended cab and have a pair of JL Audio 10w3v3's and a Memphis Audio MCD500 amplifier it hits very hard and is very clean but the box would not fit behind the seat of the regular cab.  Speaker depth will need to be considered as the speaker depth on a 10w3 for instance is 6"  the box would be deeper.  If you are looking at kenwood if it would fit install the 12" box because doubt you will be happy with the 10's but don't expect it to out throw a high end JL Audio, MTX, Memphis Audio, etc.

Answer 4

how r u gonna fit 12s in a ranger regular cab?  

Answer 5

Put enough power in it and either size will allow you to be heard for miles.  10 will be louder, 12 will be deeper.  10 will probably be easier.
