Hi all,

I am currently using 12" subwoofer sealed box. As i am listening RnB more and the bass is not sufficient for me + less space (Hyundai Accent), i am thinking of getting a 10" tube subwoofer.

May i know anyone using tube subwoofer here and mind to advice me on the performance?

I am driving a Hyundai Accent.

Thanks in advance notworthy.gif

u want punchy or boomy ?

i'm using a 8" Nos tube woofer from mohawk...
well.. it does the job well...

AFAIK, tube woofer tends to be boomy & bassy but less punchy...
meaning that tube woofer produce less punch...`, means not so power compared to boxed setup...

Hmm..from what i have here, i will prefer lesser punchy plus more boomy..

Err..sorry for the layman terms as i am not good in ICE sweat.gif ...BTW, if using 10" instead of 8", will the lunchy level increases?

How much u bought your tube subwoofer? Any link? biggrin.gif

Thanks for your prompt reply!! notworthy.gif

make ur box become a ported box....

tube sub = long and round mostly...take a long space..

box = square = take a shorter space(maybe,bigger sub, still can put things above it..if the box are ngam...how u gonna put things on a rounded tube?

Finally, the ICE installation sifu coming in biggrin.gif

So, you mean by getting a smaller (10" sub) with ported box?

and you don't recommend a free-air sub?
