Sub woofers (2) 10's? or (1) 12'?

Question

I'm putting a box in my trunk and i was wondering what you guys think i should do...

i have (2) 700w rms 10" subs

or (1) 800w rms 1000w peak sub

which would sound better?

ill be building a custom box also. so which ever i choose to go with will have its own specific box and size.

Answer 1

Go with the 10's because a subwoofer that only peaks at 1000w and RMS at 800w can't be a great quality subwoofer. The 10's will sound great in a sealed enclosure and you will love it more. 1400w is better than 800w in my book, and 10's are better in some cases than 12" subwoofers. Good luck

Answer 2

It is Real hard to decide on the RMS rating that you provided because so much is overrated anymore. I would usually say go w/ the single 12", but a sub that is 800 rms/1000 peak is not something I'm familiar w/. You should have listed the name brands and models.

I'd say go by quality..!!

Answer 3

the 10s would sound a lot louder in side the car but the 12 will probably travel further i don't know what kind of sound you are looking for but to be honest their might not be that much of a difference and it will be a lot cheaper to find a good mono block amp to power the 12 rather to find a good multiple channel amp for the 10 it up to you
