JL XR650CSi Components in the front
JL VR690's in the back
JBLGTO75.4II 4channel amp for the front stage
Phoenix Gold RSD 12' powered by JL 500/1
Im loving the system im running right now. All I listen to is EDM and this setup sounds really really clean and hits hard. If i had to change anything it would be the front component speakers. Dont get me wrong, the XR's sound awesome but kinda wishing I had the Boston Pro60's now. |

You obviously dont have any idea what you are talking about. A 12" will be just as punchy as any 8" or 10" and its low end will go even deeper. Its all about sound imaging. If you tune a subwoofer to play only midbass notes (80hz - 200hz) you're music will start to sound like junk. At least in a car environment. Given that the sub is tuned correctly and installed in the correct box, even a 15" will have no problem blending in perfectly with the punchy midbass of the front component speakers. |

'93 Civic with default speakers (two in the front, one on the left goes out from time to time) and original tape deck that eats tapes.
That's right. Fear it. |

All of you're technical mumbo jumbo still doesn't magically defy the laws of physics.
12" subwoofers are known for it's "Thunder". A large cone can't create the rapid movements like a smaller one can. This is why most hip hop listeners go for larger diameter woofers because the kicks can be farther apart. You put 12" woofers in a car that plays tracks that can be up to 150 BPM or maybe play some DnB which can be 160+, it's going to sound like garbage. I've seen it, I've heard it, it always end up sounding half-assed.
With EDM you should generally go 10" or 8". |

All subwoofers are designed differently, rendering size useless to determine sound quality.
