Many people believe bigger is always better but i have come to know that thats not always true. I have found that a Venom series II 8 inch woofer is a BEAST.(my profile pic) This 8 inch woofer can handle a mind boggling 5000 watts rms, and thats the same as a kicker solo x 18 or a Treo XCT. The differences in sizes can change the sound outcome such as an 18 will hit or produce lower notes then an 8 inch but it varies heavily on the box tuning and size.
In my personal opinion the 12 inch subwoofer is the best versitile size made, and my reseason for saying so is that they will cover a nice low note but also mid and higher bass notes. The Stereo scene is vast and many people have different views but one thing stays the same, and that is everyone who enjoyes a good stereo has common ground..... well atleast until someone starts talking about brands

I dont know much about this topic but my goal is to learn through your posts!(:
I may have to ask you about these in person. I am quite confused. Lol.
I agree, except the more surface area, the more force each hit can have with a lower wattage. So your 8" at 5000 watts could hit as hard as an 18 at a much lower power rating which when purchasing an amp that pushes 5000 watts, lower wattage with a bigger sub is way more practical.
Yes but some people dont want such a large sub or they want more air movement so you can have 4 1250 watt 12 inch subs and move alot more air rather then 1 18 inch subwoofer
i just want something that is going to sounds good and you can feel it whebn its on.
I couldn't agree with you more. The 12-inch I have in my pickup sounds great with my new interior speakers (Two dash 4x6 and Two door). The kicker speakers hit the vocal and high notes great and the door speakers take the noise volume up while the 12 in the back really rounds off the sound with a great low sound.
Does an 8" vs 18" make a great deal of difference when you're talking a car vs truck or SUV?
Yeah it depends on the box and what a person is looking for and 18 moves more air then an 8 inch and most of the time can handle more watts
