You have to listen to these things - you can't go by what somebody tells you on a message board!

I didn't run a 12 and compare it to a 10. I had the Bass Link in another vehicle and liked it for it's tight solid sound and no shortage of loudness. The car is small. I like the Bass Link (10" with built-in 200w amp) - it is plenty loud when I want it to be.

I ran the wire over the wall in the corner with black conduit covering the wires. I didn't want to alter the interior panels so if I choose to sell the car (can't imagine that) it will be nice and clean and the speaker can come out without leaving any trace.
