4 RD alpha max 15's in proper size box v. 4 Fi BL 18's in small box

I am thinking about swapping out my 4 18's for 4 15's so I can build a proper size box. The 4 18's are in a 16 cube box and it is still definitely loud its just I think if it was bigger it would be better. I can get the RD alpha max 15's and build a proper size box for them and not be so close to the roof/hatch and I think get more air movement. Powered by two Sundown 3000's. I know RD's customer service has problems but getting the subs from a member so don't have to deal with RD.

i would say the 4 18s would be alot louder bc of cone area!! but the alpha max can handle more than the bls

Yea, I know they have a big cone area advantage...its just they are in such a small box for them and they are so close to the hatch. I know the RD's can handle more power, so that's why I dunno what to do. Box only 16 cubes like I said but I like the design and the way it looks and just don't see it worth changing.
