I will agree with you in the box having a great deal to do with bass performance, BUT bigger speaker does not mean more bass. When set up correctly 2 500rms 10s can destroy 2 500rms 15s. There is so much to take into account with car audio. Quality of the speakers, how clean the power to the amps are, having the correct amps to match the RMS and peak wattage to the speakers, proper enclosure, and lets not forget the size of the interior of the vehicle.... from personal experience of setting up systems in many vehicles, I've noticed more people happier with 10s then anything else while I still hold my own favor towards 12s.... 10s are more punchy, while 15s are deeper. 12s hold their own in both categories with the correct box in the right vehicle.

If you dont already I'd reccomend doing the Big 3.It puts alot less strain on your car electrical, and have read that it increases power to your amp by like 15%. You can google it if you dont know what i'm talking about.also google on how to set your amp with a dmm and test tones so you can get the most out of your amp without damaging your speakers.

or look check it out. let me tell you since im feeling nice today.
first its batt. to firewall.(you get 0 guage wire and run it from the negative to the firewall next to the battery.)

second is batt to engine block.( you get another piece of o guage wire and run it from the negativ to the engine block. look at the pics.)

Third, its gonna be engine block to firewall. (the red wire).

the last step is getting another piece of 0guage and wiring it from the postitve directly to the alternator also in second pic.length of the 0guage youl need is somwhere around nine or ten feet.)hope this helps you out.

you can get it online but it be much cheaper getting it at a car audio shop. shipping prices are rediculous .this is my wire http://www.streetwires.com/products/default.aspx?grp=20 i paid 4 something a foot at my local audio shop and they want like 8 per foot online. thats crazy.also whatever you get make sure its true zero guage. this stuff is CEA 2015 compliant. try to get a wire with that also, it means its true zero guage.also make sure its oxygen free copper. look around the site theres a calculator somewhere to show you what is best for you.
