I would go with the SA-15's for the same exact price.. the sa subs are great..

Dayton is more geared towards sealed home audio if I recall

plus from all the subs I've owned I most def prefer the foam surround over rubber. Rubber to me just sounds sloppy when its loud. foam sounds alot deeper and cleaner

The SA-15s are the same price eh?

Either Dayton should do well ported. Rubber surround isn't as loud as foam (by a tenth or two), but foam degrades with time and UV exposure.

Daytons have copper shorting ring which is a nice feature. 4 12's have the benefit of more cone area and likely more thermal power handling. I haven't seen any bad reviews of any of the Dayton subs.
