if i remember right, 10's give a tight sound (d&b, etc) 12's are good all rounders and 15's give a deep rumble (hip hop, r&b) so i'd say a couple of 12's should do ya. go for jbl if your on a tightish budget as they are reliable as fook.

JL audio if budget allows 2 x 12 inchs would be the best i think

For dance music and all round tunes i would go for the 12's im a massive fan of 15's because i like my bass deep but for an all round punchy sound 12's for sure mate, if your on a budget i would go for the jbl gt's mate cheap but some supriseing results

12 is the best all rounder, especially for the music you listen to,

fast music is best with 10 inch sub as it can keep up with the bass, the 15's cant keep up with fast music as well, but its all your choice, try and hear a mates one or someithing and see whats best for you!

15" in phase or vibe, i think there a great all rounder

stay away from fly jbl and other crap

if youve got money to spend then go kicker jl and so on

Depends on your budget and what amps you currently have, if any.

I swear by JL 10" with a properly sized enclosure. Punchy, so it won't rattle your windows and sound crap like 12/15" can do lol

id prob sell both of them, as they arnt that powerfull, but depends what your after, if your on a tight budget then jbl or xplod 12's with a crunch amp, not the best of makes but i ran 2 of them at 1000w and 2 sony xplod 1300w subs and never had a problem, even ran them for 12hour at full amp turned up and stereo 70%vol and never had a problem :)

im exactly the same as you m8, same music styles and ive got a single 12" jbl running off a alpine mono block with fli 6x9s and coaxils and f**k me does it pump, its all about trying and swapping things around find whats best for your car also the sub enclosure and where you mount the speakers and how is a big part of making it sound good , good and solid will give a deep rumble bass with no distortion, on the other hand if u half **** it its not guna sound good atal.
