Pics: Which Would You Prefer; Need To Know Asap

[bb123]

Ok, here's the deal. I'm doing this from my phone and will make this short and sweet. I have an ext cab silvie. I want subs to bring some bass and life to my music.

 

I have have a box from my my sold Expie. I left it in storage until now. The box was too big and I was advised against it and to go with two 10's. Now this shop was being honest as possible bc I already have the 10's and they weren't selling me anything.

 

They said 2 10's in a sealed box will be louder than 1 12" in a ported box. I went to another shop and they said the opposite.

 

I can return these Sony 10's and get my money back if needbe. According to the box, these Sony 10" do 330 rms. The second shop doubts that and says 150-225 for them. My twelves are audio bahn. I've had them for 3 hrs and NEVER had a prob. They hit hard and believe their rms is 400. I have my old amp, still works, kicker 800x2.

 

Now, I'm not champion of the world music man. I'm not trying to spend $800 on a custom box, etc. I can keep the 10's under seat or go with a ported box for one of my 12's and set it behind the passenger seat where the 1/3 seat will lift up.

 

Now, the boxes are in the pics. My current 10's, my 12's in the mega custom box specifically for the sub air space, and the new box for 1 12".

 

The 10's irritate me bc they sound great under certain notes. Others it just flaps or distorts.

 

My 12's did great all around. The only prob is I can fit only 1. The smaller ported box that fits two stands too tall and I'm not trying to get my truck broken into. With one that sits lower than the window and a black sheet over it and my tinted windows it'll be inconspicuous.

 

So which is louder and more desireable in your opinion?

 

Tomorrow I get the other box and return these 2 10's and run the one audio bahn. The second shop said it'd be way better as it's a larger sub, can hit a better range of notes, and will push the 400 rms and the 330 for the 10's are questionable.

 

So what do you think?

It depends if you wanna give a seat up. I ran into this problem when I was first plotting my sub install owning two 12's and wanting to use them but being limited to space. I ended up building small risers for my seats and created a custom enclosure with a fiberglass bottom (because of the contour of the body) and my two twelves fit perfectly under the seats, amazing.

Do you have pictures? Do you have enough air space? What type of sub are you running?

 

Ok, so you have owned 12's before. Everyone keep telling me these tiny sealed truck boxes pound but that's ridiculous. Common laws of physics doesn't permit for it to be "that" oud like they say. My assumption is they frankly do not know what owning a vehicle with 2 12's in a huge custom box made for those subs. So with their classic rock, they are just fine.

 

But we hear the difference.

 

So lets see that set up. I'm very curious. Give more details about it...

 

What else have you done to it audio wise?
