So I'm preparing to install a powered subwoofer in my 2017 Civic Touring. By now, the entire forum is aware that the Touring's factory sub is shit and has no depth whatsoever. I'm on the fence about the RF P300-10 and 12. Amazon was selling the 10" model for $158.99 up until today, where it's now seemingly only available for Prime members at $186.44 brand new ($135.14 used). The P300-12 is still available to anyone at $199.99, and this is where a question comes into play for me. Do I stick with the 10" model or go to the 12" size for just $20 more? I ask this because from what I know/have heard from 12s in the past, they're way more boomy than 10s and don't deliver the tight, punchy bass a 10 can.
I had an 8" powered sub in my old setup, and it was decent, so I'd imagine a 10 would only sound so much better. My unsureness here comes from the price change now making it a $20 gap between the two models, and 12s having maybe too much boom. Are powered 12s more punchy and crisp than separate amp+sub installs?
