not trying to sounds like a rooster or anything but... your 2 cents are wrong... 10 12 15 18s doesnt matter how music sounds... its all in the box and A LOT more factors. the box is one of the biggest factors in how deep and clean your bass will sound. for instance you can get a "prefab" box of the internet usually tuned to the low-mid 40 hz range... OR you can design a box in the mid-low 30s and hear the full potential of your subs. if your going for rock id say get some nice frontstage speakers that can handle going down to id say roughly 65-80 hz and get a box tuned to the high 30s - mid 40s. for rap/dubstep i would definitely tune your box to the LOW 30s like 32-35 (thats where i LOVE to tune my boxes at) or lower and get some midbass 8" speakers for the rear deck to level out that missing mid bass and some component sets to place in the rear somewhere. now those... are my 2 cents
and cone area comes into play alot when picking subs. 2 10s will be louder then 1 12. 2 12s will be louder then 2 10s... u get the picture :P gl
another thing... the more space a sub has to move the less power it will need for you to see its full potential if you have a 12 jammed into a tiny 1cuft box and it's a ture 1000rms sub you ill most likely have to feed it 1200-1300 rms just to see its full potential. unlike if you put it in a 1.75cuft box you would only have to put 800-1k to it :P another tip for when u buy an amp.
