I have a 10"... I had 2 12" in my old car now I just want something to give me that extra kick on the bass... Go with the 10" just the right kick and easy to take out when ever you decide to go topless

To help make ur decision a lil easier, ur common 10 requires. 75cu feet of air space for a sealed enclosure and 1-1.5 for ported and to give a 12 its proper airspace (which a lot of people don't) u need 1.25 sealed and 1.75-2.25 ported. Just remember u can put both subs in a small enclosure but the 10 will perform better than the 12 in it. These airspace suggestions are for ur common 10s and 12s, so yeah u can find some that require less but from my experience (I installed and competed for 10yrs) small enclosure subs do not perform well. The best swallow sub for the money I have heard is the Rockford fosgate p3s but its pricy and doesn't compete against a standard 10 in a correct box

I put a 12" Pioneer Champion Series Sub in ported box with MTX 500 watt amp...
And man does it hit...Plenty of low and hard hitting bass...MTX amps have a control
for the bass...Replaced front & rear speakers with Alpine's with factory head unit
which has everything...Very happy with set up...

It all depends on how crazy you want to go.
Here is my setup;
-Jensen double din head unit with Nav
-kicker KS 6.5s components with crossovers in dash and soundbar
-2 12 inch kicker L7s in sealed box
-kicker zx1500 watt amp
-1/0 gauge wire and a capacitor
Next thing is to fix the rest of the metal rattles and amp my mids!
All of this is in my 2 door so it all depends on how much you want.
Can post pics tomorrow.
