[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 38777, member: 517"] Something else to consider here, seeing as how it sounds like some people are just going for out and out slam, is how accurately the sub can produce the bass. I'd rather go for a sub that goes down to 30Hz cleanly than one that goes down to 20Hz with a curve like a rollercoaster ride. Another thing to consider is room gain. In a small room like yours, even a smaller sub could sound pretty weighty. My room is about the size of yours and I have a 10" (but would have gone with the 12" if I wasn't as concerned about my neighbours) that's rated down to 23Hz +-3db but after EQing it has no problem handling sweep tones, at volume, all the way down to 15Hz [/QUOTE]
