What is legitimately the best 12 or 15 inch sub?

You forgot to mention if you are chasing SQ or trying to make a mobile ground pounder! :fro:

Based on that, determine your budget and the amount  of trunk space you are willing to give up then go shopping.  I have seen many people get Ground Zero or Sundown subwoofers only to run them with a puny amp which is a waste as some subwoofers are made to be driven hard and is larger ported boxes so determine what you are chasing then go and listen to some subwoofers. Lucky for us today, most subwoofers are designed to work well in small sealed boxes, which are entry to mid level gear but that would satisfy most generic consumer who are after a bit of 'thump' with their stock systems. 

Which ever direction you want to go, don't go spending heaps of money on expensive subs and run them with a no-name brand with many '000000' on it as you will damage your nice subwoofers over time due to clipping and distortion.

Keep it real and you should have years of tunes in your ride.
