Im stuck on whether or not to get a 10 or 12 " sub for my cobalt. any suggestions? im getting an alpine type R (either size)

 

It all depends if you want more THUMP!

 

well yeah, lol i know that, but ive heard people say that "my 10" pounds as hard as any other 12 out there...blah blah..." so im not really sure what to believe. lol
and for 40 more bucks, why not go with a 12?

 

12'S obvious choice

 

The type R's are nice but alpine just released the new type E's and i personsally think they blow the type R's out of the water

But yea whatever you get 12"

 

I agree with the rest, get 12's, or ****... get both......

 

really?
i havent even looked at them yet

 

yea they came out a few weeks ago they sound alot better than the type R's

 

Do the E's thump as hard as the R's,

 

12'' kickers. A lot depends on your amp too.

 

DUDE why an Alpine sub... everyone who knows car audio will point you to a JL w7 (10 should be more than enough...)

You will not regret any w7, I guarentee it.

 

yeah i would say 1 12" kicker CVR,inexpensive and pretty good sound.

 

I had one of those a few years back. For a cheap sub... can't really be beat.

However, for any 'regular' priced sub, like I said dude, JL. Seriously. Ask audiophiles. w7. /thread.

 

yeah,like the pirate guy said, if ur poppin rubberbands, then go with JL w6 or w7's,gotta match them with a good JL amp though.

 

yep!

 

i dont have the mula to get JLs
im stickin with the alpines.

actually i havent even priced JLs so idk.

 

i can get a DD 8 louder then your alpine 10 or 12... possibly an RE 8 as well. Either way if you looking at a 10 or 12 in the same sub the 12 should always be louder ASSUMING the rest of the install is the same. honestly alot of it has to do with the install (box and wire size mean so much yet people always ignore them)

 

I have always been told it depends on the music you listen to. If its more rap, then get a 12 for the deeper bass. But if you listen to more Rock, then you could go with the 10's for a quicker hit response from the sub.
