Which is better the 10" or 12" version of this sub?

Depends on what kind of music you are listening to. The bigger the sub (12inch) the lower the notes it will hit. The smaller the sub (10inch) the higher the notes it will hit. Of course there isn't a huge difference but I was always told if you are getting just one get one 12 inch if your getting 2 subs get 2 tens! Hope that helps. Also like I said at the brggining if your listening to music with low bass then the 12 would be great. Either way I think just the sound of music with a sub in general is so much better you'll enjoy it. Make sure you get a good amp too! I have 2 kicker 12inch and a Rockford Fosgate 1000watt amp and it's perfect. Depends on what kind of music you are listening to. The bigger the sub (12inch) the lower the notes it will hit.

It depends on how much bass you are looking for. I suggest a 12" if you want plenty of bass and a 10" if you just want a little bump in your trunk. I used to sell car stereo and Kicker 12" solarbaric is the best!

It'll be fine. You'll be content with what you're getting for the price. This 12" is likely the best value out of Dayton's SUB-[whatever] line, but they also make a 15" version. However, the price goes up 63% beyond the 12" (even so, it's still a great price), so the 12" is at the bang-for-buck sweet spot.

Larry, I haven't got a clue, but excellent question. I guess if I had to take a stab at the answer, I'd say that more people buy the 6 inch version than the 12 inch version. In other words, they can gouge the hell out of us by charging more for the most popular item. I own them both and they are identical except for the length. I remember thinking the same thing when I purchased mine.

John, I cant speak to the difference, aside from the obvious, 9" is thinner than 11", but I can tell you IMHO, that the 10" is simply amazing. Possibly the nicest mattress I have ever purchased really.

Hi To answer your question correctly, they both are 1000 watts , the main difference is the 15 inch has more full body sound and you can also use it without any sub if place you are playing is not big enough for adding a subwoofer . I would use the 12 for smaller venue up to 50 people vs the 15 that can handle over 75-100 people. Hope you are comfortable with my explanation and if you do need further assistance , you are welcome to call us 718/272/7228 . Thanks . Mike

Sorry let me amend my reply, go with the 12 inch instead the space after the guide is only 6 inches. And you might want to buy one that can slide forward and back.

Hi there, Logic tells me that the 12" must be newer, as it was not offered when I purchased the 11.6", however,Unless it offers more features than mine, I'm very satisfied w/ it. Doris

If you are going to use a single 12" it is better if you get the dual 2 ohm as this will come down to 1 ohm and most amps would be 1 ohm stable in this power braket. 1000 rms at 1 ohm is good enough to shake this beast. Doesnt need more.i have used 2.5 and 3 cube boxes. 3 is better. It is not a low frequency sub so dont tune too low. 38 hz is lowest i would go. It is loud though !!! Excellent value for your money. Just remember to break it in well before you turn it up.

12 inch are up to 1200 w output 10 inch are up to 1000 w output FYI they are very nice and sound great with dual voice coil you have couple different ways to wire them up.depends on what you are doing and how u have it wired up in car . The 10" subs magnet is not much smaller than the sub itself their amazing really

No! I have an Sc 300 and the factory sub is a 10 in! You could go slightly bigger to a 12 if u wanted, but not smaller.

12's are great. I wanted them also to get the great sound I remembered as a kid. The only difference with 15's is you get a bigger sub woofer. Which means better bass , I bought the 12's and put the cerwin vega bookshelfs with them for movies only. The 12's do the job very well and are crystal clear.

I would suggest the 10" because the OD is the important dimension, once its squeezed down it will become 10 3/8".

Klipsch is 12" while SVS is 10"... a material difference in pushing air. I'm happy with my 12HG after going through 3 other subwoofers below 12" driver.

Well I would say that's a personal preference. I have a setup with just a playbar and sub and another setup with a playbar, sub and 2 play 1's. I don't notice much of a difference to be honest. The playbar and sub are amazing. I would definitely recommend the sub next, no question.

I'm heavy, 200+, and wish I would have gone with the 10". I hate the 12", no good support at all. Woman at customer service at Lucid said the 10" would have been better. Hope this helps.

Amazon is directing this question to buyer thinking a user will by all the 10, 12 and 14 :) LOL. I have only bought 12in. Now, I will give you my thoughts. You want to hear this. Hear it. Very well. Keep your ears close. :) I don't know. May be yes may be No. Thank you :)

I'd say that's asking a lot from a 12" sub. My suggestion, go bigger and use multiple units (2, 4 or more).
