well obviously the brahma would considering both will have good installs. The RMS of a B15 is like...1400 or something. W3's are 350 rms. so ur lookin at quite a bit more wattage.

i personally wouldnt get a brahma if u do a search ull find a bunch of horror stories about this sub. Get the RE XXX. Its basically a very similar sub. uses the same technology. http://www.respl.com

The newest bra are not nearly as bad.

But yeah I still suggest the XXX though..you have to call them...they'll never respond via email.

I take that back...it'll take a few weeks.

yea...i mean the brahma is a good sub and all,dont get me wrong,and im sure the ratio of good to bad is like 500:1.but its just like...i dont hear many RE complaints other than the onyx shit.and the brahma isnt good with taking the 1400w in bigger enclosurs if u dont do it right,at least thats what iv read,so it might not be 100% true.personally,i wouldnt use a brahma,thats me.im sure josh will have something to say about this.

Considering XXXs and Brahmas are built at the same place, by the same production line, perhaps it's more a reflection of the numbers of drivers sold?

Brahmas hold together VERY well... Even in really high power applications, if used properly - witness Scottie Johnson with 10KW - yes, 10,000W - per driver, or Scott Stoner with 8 KW to each unit, and on and on...

A subwoofer is like a car. A high performance subwoofer is like a high performance car. Just because you buy a Ferrari 355 doesn't mean you can drive on like Michael Andretti.

Just because you buy a high performance sub doesn't mean you can run it like Scottie Johnson, Scott Stoner, Bob Beatty, etc.

Experience is what makes the difference. Starting out in your audio world with $400 subs and $500 amps isn't really a good way to go. Start lower, learn how it works, then move up.
