What would sound best in a camaro, a pair of 10`s or 12`s. Right now I have a pair of Kicker Solobaric s12d`s in the car but one of them is about to blow. Both are about six years old. I`m looking at replacing the one with another solobaric off of ebay or changing both of them for a set of kicker comp 10`s. Should I just stick with my 12`s or what?

 

I once heard some 10" Kicker's that sounded good enough to be 12's, but that was the exception and not the norm.

I'd stick with 12's.

 

I would go to the 10 and what kind of box are you going to use

 

If your wanting maximum volume, go with 12's. If your wanting a good amt of volume and the smallest/lightest sub/box, go with 10's.

 

depends on what brand, and what kind of music you like

punk/rock/metal = 2x10"

rap = as many and as big as you can get

already my set of 2 10s puts out too much bass for some of my music (mainly rock/metal)...so I would say go to a car stereo shop and decide what you like best.

 

If you have the room and the money to go with 2 12's I suggest doing so. I've heard some 10's that sounded good but the extra cone area of a 12 and the lower resonance (on average that is) of the 12 seem to fit what my ears like better. If you are trying to conserve space and still want to be able to rock 2 10's will still do the job though IMHO.

Do keep in mind though that if you do that math, the solobaric 10's that Kicker makes (the square ones) move about as much air as their 12" Comp (if you figure cone area and use the Xmax rating) so that's also something you might want to look into. I heard 2 10" Kicker Solobarics in the back of a Protege and it pounded really hard but they hit a little high for my taste.

Found out my solobaric is alright, I just had the amp up a little to high and my crossover eq too low. Thanx for all the advice.:hail: :hail:
