What sound better (car audio)?

Question

I have 4 10 inch (it says 700 on each of the subs box) subwoofers and 4 12 inch (says 800 on the box) subwoofers, would it sound good and would it have loud bass? If it doesnt, what should I take out and leave in or buy something else?

I want to know if it will sound good with both the 4 10 and 4 12 inches inside my car.

Answer 1

Try both seperated. You shouldn't mix them because of cancellation issues. As for which one will sound better thats impossible to tell because not only do have a different opinion as to what sounds good but there are so many factors that can affect you r install.

Answer 2

i say 4 12' and each box say 800 watts on each box rite that will give you loud bass but to have loud bass i think you dont need that many speaker with 1 15' speaker like eclipse or kicker but make sure for those 800 watts speaker i think you should put 1000watts on each box

Answer 3

too much bass I would at some mids to that and take out some bass such as the 10's and also if you have a deck with a eq like a pioneer it will be better

Answer 4

you're going to need one hell of an amp to power all those speakers. I would just use the 12's. If you use all 8 speakers you're going to need a 5000watt amp which will cost you some money and is pretty much overkill

Answer 5

the # of watts that you need to look for is the rms NOT the peak. the closer you match your amp to your speakers the better off you will be. ie a 600 watt amp with 600 watt speakers will sound better than a 600 watt amp with 800 watt speakers. more watts on your amp than on your speakers will produce a better sound but you have to restrain yourself on that volume.

Answer 6

10's generally sound tighter, and cleaner. and 12s generally are louder. i like tight accutate bass, but i went with 12s. imo you loose more volume with 10s, and less clarity with 12s.

what brand are they?

Answer 7

the 12s will prob be better
