Sub size for 2 channel music in large room


I have a room 20x12 foot open on 2 sides, and ceilings are 16'.
What size subwoofer should I get for this size room? 12"? 15"? I heard small subs are better for music. Is this true even in a large room?

The generalization the smaller woofers are more articulate is fairly accurate. Another thing to keep in mind is that cheap subs do more things wrong than they do right. There are any number of subs that use low quality drivers and amplifiers that just sound muddy and distorted.

Best to demo in home if possible.

Subs have a great deal of interaction with the room. If your room and placement within the room do not work well with a specific sub that has proven to be good elsewhere you are still left wanting. High-output, highly adjustable subs with multiple smaller woofers is what I prefer.

Good luck!
