not necessariyl its all down to box design....

my dad has a JL 8W7 in a small sealed enclosure, its VERY tight and punchy but doesnt drop that low.

another guy i knpow has a 8W7 identical in JL's ported box, and it really dropslow, much lower than my 12...

as i say themajority of the sound is in the box type sealed, ported bandpass etc.. and box volume.

Gona say 8" and 10" for Hip-Hop? way too quick more like 12/15" for that sorta music

u want 10-12 for dance, 15's are too slow to shift to faster songs

generally:
8" & 10" tight notes, like r'n'b, hip hop stuff.
12" & 15" more for dance n trance music

Sealed boxes would give you tight accurate bass
Vented boxes give u a lower bass response

I'd PERSONNALY knowing all this go for two tens in a sealed box :thumbs:

What about the R.E SE12 sub`s? 600w Rms 250 quid?

not necessarily, i find my 12 too slow for music with quick bass but as i say its personal choice isnt it, best thing is to listen to the subs your interested in then decide.

for hip hop n r'n'b arent u better with the 12's as they'd give deeper bass?

depends wat u want the sound to be like tbh...

id go for 10's but i prefer bass to be tight and punchy not low and slow...

Which is the better Sub combo for hip-hop/R&B
