Thoughts?Anyone able to help me out/him out? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79103-number-and-size-of-subs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger the deeper and resonant the bass is. 12inch is a ideal compromise. But personally I think a 10 inch with a really long throw sounds best!

MX Dave Donating Members 545 Member For: 14y 26d Gender: Male Posted 27/02/12 02:15 PM Share Posted 27/02/12 02:15 PM I use a single compitition 12 inch sub getting just over 2000watts rms in a dual ported box. Using remote gain control it provides a really good amount of bass in my falcon. But seeing as my normal listening gear is just as good quality I would like just a wee bit more when it's fully cranked..But having that said I o ly turn it up that loud to show off. You'd literally go deaf from too much ofIt :/ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79103-number-and-size-of-subs/#findComment-1202792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the smaller subs would be better for what he wants as well.

They are in a sealed box now and sound alright but a proper ported box gives the best sound I reckon. It depends on how much boot space you want to take up. 1 x 15 in the perfect box would probably sound better the 2 subs in an insufficient box. The box is a huge factor in the sound of the subs Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79103-number-and-size-of-subs/#findComment-1203377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro speakers , doors and parcel shelf, the sound is so clean Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79103-number-and-size-of-subs/#findComment-1203394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go 2 x 12s in the best ported box to suit the subs. It will be big and heavy but should sound great. will require some serious power for those subs.MX Dave, How does your elect system handle that much stereo? have you put your battery in the boot or do run a big capacitor?
