What size of subwoofer hit the hardest?

Typically the bigger the sub the harder it hits. It also depends on power handleing and the brand. Personally I think a 15" sub is the best size because it definitely is louder than 2 10"s and possibly the same as 2 12's(im sure people will argue this) plus it will probably fit anywhere a single 12 can(check first)The sub this would hit the hardest depends on many factors but in most cases the bigger the speaker the more power is used to move it. If you want a hard hitting speaker you usally want to go smaller the bigger it get the tone just gets smoother and better lows.

How do you make a subwoofer out of a normal speaker?

Simple answer: you can't. You can run your normal speakers through a power amplifier on a low pass filter, but subwoofers are designed for a big throw and sustained sounds. You won't get nearly the same performance out of a speaker running an LPF as you will a sub.


Can you run an amp without a sub?

You probably could run your subwoofer off of the rear speaker outputs of your head unit, but you probably would not like the result. It takes a great deal of energy to make bass tones and the power output of your radio is relatively limited. The 'subwoofer volume' option is so that you can set the line-level output to a separate subwoofer amplifier and keep the subwoofer level proportionate to the main sound output. Good luck.
