So some friends of mine and I were were discussing the benefits of one vs the other. Brand non specific and being the same, feeding them the same amount of power, tuned to spec and boxes built correctly. If you were to put 10" in a ported box, would it "hit" like a 12" in a sealed box? Next question could a 12" be musical and punchy like the 10"? Or would the 10" be boomy likened to a 12" in a ported box? Now I know there are a lot of variables to this, and we weren't getting too technical about it, just chewing the fat over it. If you had to pick one to buy, and could fit either one in your vehicle which one and why. Features and benefits kind of thing. We weren't getting into types of music being listened to that may sway decisions one way or the other. Just postulating, pondering, chewing the fat.
