Isn't this backwards? I listen to very heavy, metal (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Type O Negative, etc) and have found that smaller subs 8" give much more definition to the kick drum whereas the larger 12" speakers make the kick more muddy. However, having said that- all those bands have keyboard players and many times they're using church organ tones complete with very low bass notes and the 8's just rattle around when these extreme low notes are played and just can't handle them.
That's been my listening experience.
