Two 10's vs One 12

speedfreak28 · 09-10-2009, 02:28 PM

its a common misconception that a 10 is tighter than a 12. ten jsut peaks at a higher frequency giving that illusion. A 12 does have the ability to extend a little lower than a 10. In sheer output two 10's will be louder based on cone area alone. It all comes down to preference really, eitehr can be suited to any type of music, it all depends on how u have the sub eq'd

Not the case. Ever look at a bass guitar cabinet? 12's are very rare. 10's are common. 15's tend to be muddy/flabby.

actually its very true, The enclosure volume has more to do with the driver having tight response rather than driver diameter. a 15 in a small enclosure will be more responsive than a 10 in a large enclosure. A smaller enclosure tends to be more responsive but you lose a little on teh low end.

The best bass (guitar) cab I've heard had something like 60 4" or 5" drivers.

It looked crazy, but that thing was clean and deep with a ton of punch. Had no trouble handing his 6-string bass guitar either...
