1. Yup, a 12" will always be superior to a 8" or a 10" as it can move more air with less cone travel.
2. RE Audio has always been well-loved and well-received

Regarding your question, the answer is.. a simple no. All it cares is the internal space of the box. After all, you can't really know how often will a certain sound wave bounce around inside the enclosure.

For the enclosure, just pay attention to:
1. What material, type, and size of the enclosure.
2. Whether you'll "stuff" it with rockwool or mineral wool inside. Meron effect yan.
3. Its internal bracing. This is how home audio companies sell 6 digit subwoofer enclosures.
4. Orientation. Iba yun sound if you have the speaker fire up or from the side.
5. Where you'll place it in the car.

These are probably the 5 biggest variables on how the subwoofer will sound in your car. #1, #2, and #3 will affect waves of the subwoofer while #4 and #5 is more about acoustics. On a subwoofer basis, #1 is the most important one. But how it'll sound in your car will depend on #4 and #5.

That's why car audio is challenging. Different kasi ang acoustics ng vehicle so even if a certain subwoofer sounds good in Car A, it might not necessarily sound good in Car B if you're hardcore about it :grin

Thanks again for the brief but concise information sir jhnkvn! Maykaalaman nanaman nadagdag po.

Thanks sa link ng RE, *** pla model ng sub.

Google ko na lang rockwool and mineral wool hehe. Alam ko lang polyfill na cheap at ung fiber na pinkish na makati sa balat.

Parang ang sarap din na may hiwattage sub na 10" for true SQ, dont know pa kung ano medyo mura na brand...JL?

Sa setup ko ngayon sa low or at hi volume may gap konti sa tone or may maybe sa clarity.... ewan haha between outpUt ng midbass at ng subwoofer may small gap konti. Maybe masyado mababa for my liking ang tune ng re haha. 80's kasi panahon ko hehe baka siguro pagsealed enclosure na ang RE magkasundo na kami ng husto, if not eh pagmaybudget uli makahanap Ng 10" pure SQ sub maski used uli hehe. Kung ano man ang mood interchangeable ang sub haha. Thanks again sir!

^ underwear subs? hindi po kelangan ng bass iyong flatulence ko. malalim na po siya as it is

seriously mga bos, thanks for giving me some idea on the price. will check out shops probably when the rain stops

Natawa ako dito haha

Before ang sub ko a pair of kicker 6.5cvt in a separate .25cuft sealed box na nasa backseat ng jazz. I think kasya sa underseat ng fd mo. Maganda ang tunog kumpleto! Ok lang sya at medium volume level, petformance wise mas-ok kaysa bazooka type active subwoofer ko dati, dont know lang ung mga labas ngayon na underseat active sub.

Guys, newbie here. Ano mas OK sa dalawa Hertz HSK 165 or Focal PS 165F? Yan kasi ang inalok saken ng C&J AutoSound. And kelangan ko ba talaga ng amp?
Thanks.

Focal for me. If you want to maximize the potential of your seps, you need an amp to power it properly.

i used to have 3way focal utopias (care of micky's autosound) driven by an audison amp and a polykev sub driven by a rf on my 90s ride, mas mahal pa yung audio setup sa kotse ko before toink

You had one sweet audio setup there. The equipment alone cost a bit much and active 3-way setups are not easy to install.

Customer din ako ni Mickey. I used to take the long trip to his shop in Marikina just to get some audio equipment there. My old Exalta had a simple DLS 2-way active setup was mostly done in his shop. My friend just got some Focal seps for his Focus and Mickey told him of some good Focal integration kits for Ford Sync with matching slim amps that could fit under the front seat.

^^^ Mickey has some good stuff for audio setups limited by space. A small amp with a built-in processor similar to the Harman Kardon stuff on the Forester XT. He told my friend that it is highly recommended for tight spaces like hatchbacks.
