12's or 10's
#1
Looking to get some bass in my scooby... Looking at either 2 x 12 or 2 x 10. There will be rear shelf sounds as well... all the in car sounds are focal....They are running off a Alpine 4x3x2 digital.
Any suggestions on what subs sound good in the scooby....

Depends what volume you want
As you've got the rear focals.. Which I had.. I'd put in 10's... otherwise the bass may overpower the front speaker noise... as the front focals are powerful but not that powerful.. I presume your running the front and rears at about 90w rms?..
Its all a matter of taste on Subs.. best I've heard is Diamond M10, or M12's or DLS.. Worst I've heard.. truly awful were JL Audio subs - totally pants.. each to their own though
I went for the rear fill so I could remove the subs, but when you've had subs the rear 6*9's are no substitute at all.. so I removed the focals and put in better quality front speakers, took the rear ones out and kept the subs... and I was back to where I had started.. much better sound quality.. but no good for rear passengers.. but then I never have any
BTW you'll also need to invest in a Farad Capacitor on the subs otherwise you'll get a fair bit of dimming problems on the lights..

I would agree with your comment, the best approach is actually 3*10inch subs.. which are better than 2*12 inch ones.. as they can give you the responsiveness and the volume...
They will look cool.. but take up a lot of room
re the Diamond/DLS and JL Audio - I should have said that these are the set ups I've heard in a Scoob....
