This is a very good powered subwoofer.
JBL HTPS400 1000 Watt, 12" (300mm), THX®-Powered Subwoofer $1,339
http://www.hdtvhouse.com/prods/p_jblhtthxcer1.html
Amplifier Power (RMS) 1 kilowatt
Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1m) 91dB
Frequency Response 25Hz – 250Hz (±3dB)
"a ten inch sub will give you more "range" its better for rock music and things that dont use a whole lot of bass. a 12 inch sub hits harder. This is better for rap music."
-DarkHelmet
Which explains why I prefer 12" woofers over 10" woofers. I don't like Rock music that much, I prefer Miami-Bass, DnB, Hip-Hop & Pop music.
More important than the size of the sub is the cabinet that the sub is in.
You can build a better sub than you can buy & it will cost you less, plus you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you built it yourself.

You can load the Table Tuba with an 8" or a 10" woofer.
I built two of these for my PA system. They are the clearest, loudest, hardest hitting professional subwoofers I have ever owned.

This is better for rap music. i tend to like the way a 12 sounds.. dont go cheap though because its not worth it. the more you spend the better the sub.. go with JL audio.. they can handle massive amounts of power and have a lifetime warrenty. they are expensive tho

A 10" sounds good for : Jazz/Smooth Jazz, Rock, Classical, and
other types of music that require tight accurate bass.
A 12" is good for: Pop, Rap, R&B, Trance/Electronica and
other types of music that require deep, sometimes boomy low notes at high decibel levels.

i like the 12 inch sub personally. and get it with extra meat and with some hot sauce and swiss cheese.

Size counts.
It's all about quality...forget inches.
