A large driver/big subwoofer is certainly capable of incredible depth and output, but often it is at the expense of speed in transients and tonal accuracy. This means bass can sound powerful yet bloated or “boomy” as opposed to controlled and detailed.

Do 10 or 12 subs hit harder?

But, generally speaking, given adequate power, the two 10″ subs will sound a little cleaner and punch harder because their combined cone surface area yields more sound pressure. The single 12″ sub, however, may sound a little deeper.

Is it better to have higher watt subs or amp?

No, It is always recommended to use approximately twice as much amplifier power as the speaker’s power rating. More watts may provide more bass, but only if the amplifier you’re currently using is insufficiently strong for the speakers you’re using.

How can you tell a good woofer?

Power and Volume

The internal amplifier is the beating heart of your subwoofer and the most important thing it does is power the speaker driver. That power is measured in watts and understanding it is the key to choosing a good sub. Subwoofers usually have two types of wattage listed on their specs: RMS and Peak.
