Which would you recommend for a yaris sedan single 10 inch or 12 inch sub
So I am going to have a custom box built into the spare tire area. I have my option of a mephis audio shallow mount 10 or 12 both would fit he says. Both will cost me roughly 400 installed that includes the box wiring and sub im supplying my own amp.
Which do you think would sound better. for the size of the car and the air space in the trunk.

12" if you like deeper longer sounding bass, and 10" if you listen more to short, fast sound bass IMO. Im getting a 12" sub that is already in an enclosure. I can't wait till I install the amp for it. Ill let you know how it sounds.

Wow...what a waste of space! Holy crap! How many cubes is that?
...that sounds trollish, but it REALLY isn't. I promise.

I'd like to hear what that sounds like... And i'm betting around 3.5-4 cu ft of airspace. Deff enough to cut a square hole in the front of it and slap a Solo-baric 15 in there and knock the trunk off it's hinges.

Looks to me like he has TWO of those subs in that box.
( from looking at both pics ) And the box is ported. Those look like 12's ? Since those subs are on opposite walls, are they wired for PUSH-PULL? ( or do you have internal walls between them? ) Interesting setup. I think I would pass on the window decals though... don't like advertising to thieves.

You could put 4 solobaric 15"s in 4 sealed cubes! Can you imagine that?

the best I can do to explain this without getting long winded and technical is to say that the 12" for deep, and a 10" for fast is like saying small cars are slow and big cars are fast. No.. it determines on the engine, high HP & decent torque is what will determine if a car is fast... that along with the relative power to weight ratio. I wish I had everybody here, a few hours with a saw, and an 8" & 15" sub... i'd make boxes that make the 8" sound boomy/slow and the 15" tight/fast. |

Hey...Let ME take care of the fast 15s! I've got two waiting for the enclosures to be fabbed. We're doing a cube and a half sealed on each of the two ID 15s. Something tells me I'll have an excellent sound from them.

I've got dual 1/3 octaves for the right and left off the source. No worries about control. Yes they will be sealed, I can completely sympathise with the banging of the head against the wall thought. We WERE contemplating the sealed idea, but I nixed that with the space requirements for the frequency range and placement we wanted of the woofers. We also changed amplifiers so I'll ONLY be working with 1000 Watts at maximum for two 15 inch woofers. Oh bummer.
