Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings)


This is an open floor plan that opens up into a very small kitchen area then narrow hallway. Will this be enough? Room layout dictates I can't have more than one sub.

When I compared a JL Audio F113 to my Velodyne DD-18 it was every bit as potent. At the time the newer JL seemed to have a better cabinet along with a proprietary driver. It's auto only ARO room correction was limiting. 

If you're able to crawl test and position a sub of similar quality and equalization you can expect very good performance at the listening position from a 10".
With this level of subwoofer adding a non equalized extension sub interconnected to the main sub and positioned at the rooms second largest mode will further reduce the rooms modes and maintain equalization.
