My car sub is 10inch, but i built the perfect ltr ported box to suit, most people buy a 12inch sub, go out and buy a 12inch sub box, but the litre size to the sub is totally off, so it sounds F@#K#D. Mine doesn\'t, i\'ve measured its response and got it just about perfect to teh manufacture\'s figures.

My PC sub is just a 8inch active powered sub, does the job.

SIze doesn\'t really matter.  I have a 1000 watt 8".  Although I will be getting a servo driven one with my next setup.
I wear a necklace now because I like to know when I\'m upside down.

I have two 12s in my car.
 
I have a subwoofer hooked up to my tv, but it\'s probably not much to speak of. Adds a little rumble when I crank it up, tho.

same can be said for power.  It\'s the driver / cone quality that makes the diff, not power or size.

BS on the power thing b/c without a nice RMS rating you wont move much air. you are correct about the quality of the cone though. Dont forget quality VC\'s

car=3 10\'s wired Parallel into 1ohm
house=1 15 CV
pc-----none..monitor speakers.:)

ACtually it\'s power and size. If you have a larger sub you don\'t need the power.  That\'s the only reason mine is a high powered amp.  That\'s all I was saying.

If by "subwoofer" you mean "penis," it\'s 6".

i\'m doing audio at school, part of my module. (designing speakers, amps etc) Bigger the sub, bigger the voice coil needed to drive it = more power it can handle.  But good quality subs have voice coils and cones that are designed to use less power on bigger subs hence why i said power and size isn\'t everything.  
My car sub is only 160WRMS, but it cains the F##K out of my 250WRMS sub, simply because it was designed better, used lighter cone, lighter coil, and more free suspension = less power needed = more mass moved.

Click on images for specs.
