Sub for sub, you will notice deeper bass with the 12" at any volume. Go single 12, doesnt mean you have to turn it up to the max.

I have that 12" Polk momo in my S2000. It sounds great and fits just fine in the tool well. I used the box in the FAQ section that had the most volume and I couldn't be happier. My only advice is to use a full speaker grille, not the polk momo one. I had an unfortunate incident with a can of green beans, a sharp turn, and the speaker bumping.

Holy SHIT. Do you have a trailer to carry that sub around!? A sub that is 12 FEET in diameter is HUGE!


I LOVE my 10" sub. I also LOVE how it hides so well tucked in a corner:



A 12" sub MUST go in the tool well. I like having the tool well area for more cargo capacity.

Unfortunatly, I don't think the Momo 10" will fit or work well in such a small enclosure. The Alphasonik or the Elemental Designs subs are more made for that.

However, you could e-bay your sub and get one of the above if you were interested.

The diameter of the subwoofer determines the quality of bass notes.

Low Low notes on a 12" sound better than on a 10" sub.

The diameter does not affect the amount of volume.

Tweeters are small and are used to produce high notes. Because they are small does not mean that they are less loud than a 12" sub.

I think that's because it goes back to that saying just because you can doesn't mean you should

Clean setup though
