depends. by 'squeezing' the 15" in will you still have enough room for rec. box for the 15"? if so i'd go for the 15".

 

[Mat Dope 10+ year member]

yeah just the hight is the problem well not a problem i can make it fit once i get it in i still have room for enough box space.

Why not 2 12s?

 

[klepto 10+ year member]

If you have the room and the power, get the 15. It will sound just as good and get louder.

Why not 2 12s?

because a 15 is only 25$ more then a 12 and if i run 2 12s that will cost me alot more money i dont really have because of car problems //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

so its only 1 15 or 1 12

and im leaning tward the 15 becasue it will sound the same and get a little louder/lower to make little kids cry:naughty: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif :naughty:

it's simple...if you want the space, get a 12"

15" Hands down and you wont need 1300w sealed.

Put it in ~2cuft net (2.25 before displacement) and stuff 2lbs of polyfill in it.

If you cant give up 2.25cuft I feel sorry for you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

what is the very outer diameter of the 15?

 

[CBFryman2 5,000+ posts]

The same as all other 12 spoke 15" baskets.

IIRC it is a little less than 16." I'll go grab a tape measurer.

15.5" with the gasket.
