For home theater stuff, the bigger it is, the more bulky it is and looks and that's harder to hide and squeeze in a corner. An 8 with active poting will be easier to hide. If you hide it in a good spot, you'll make resonance enough to compensate anyway as subs are not line of sight. So if you have a 12 but its out in the open, versus a hidden 8 that resonates, the 8 will hit harder. The 12's are also built for bigger systems pushing uber power generally speaking. So if you try to power something like that on a home theater that's not built for it, you will blow something. Either the receiver for straining to reach power or the sub from being underpowered. Size isn't really a determining factor so much with speaker technology these days. It's all about impendance.
