Boston Acustics G5 Sub

I've heard great things about the Boston G5 sub, should I go with a 10 or 12 inch?

The rms rating on both is 450 max. I will be using a Alpine 500 Max rms amp.

I have a Extended Cab, I listen to everything from Rap - Country...

Im thinking since both subs are 450 Max RMS, I should just go with a 10' inch.



Thanks alot

if you have the room you might as well do the 12. listening to rap i guarantee you will want more bass

Im thinking I rather have too much bass then not enough. The price different is about $40 but I bet the 12 hits alot harder. Im going to just put the sub on the very left on top of the seat. I dont usually have my car full so it doesnt bother me.
